Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - DIY: Replace dreaded steering-lock on 2009s and early 2010s.

Mr. Kenchan,

I have been trying to practice egressing the Z without using the steering wheel for leverage. I settled on a technique.

1. Undo seatbelt
2. Open driver's door
3. Rotate upper body counter-clockwise
4. Outstretch both arms
5. Bend waist until palms touch the ground
6. Using palms in a walking motion pull until knees are clear of the door sill
7. Drop to knees but keep feet elevated
8. Crawl away from vehicle until feet are clear
9. Stand up

Thoughts? Suggestions?
