There is a small inexpensive pointed device that will shatter a car window
without much force. I think you can get it at a store like Home Depot.

You didn't read my post with the mythbusters link.....where they
tried something like that?
A tire iron WILL work....but you still won't get out, until the water
pressure has equalized.

Um, Kris... after shattering the window, is crawling out
acceptable?... or do I still have to wait for the car to fill up?
Umm, Alison -- you're welcome to crawl out any time you want,
but good luck moving against the flow of water.- Hide quoted text -

Not if the car is still floating. If I don't already have the window
down 10 seconds after hitting the water... damn if I'm gonna patiently
sit there and wait for it to sink before I pop the window.

I guess I don't understand why you wouldn't just open the damn
window if it's not already submerged.

I believe we've already established that most electric windows
will still work, at least if it's fresh water...
