It begs the question - what would you do if you needed to exit the a/c in a hurry due to an emergency and this condition presented itself - either because of the locking problem or some other jam? Does anyone have any tools or ideas about how to get out of this thing quickly should an emergency arrive? It seems that any Lancair IV could be difficult to pop open, but the pressurized version may be even more so with thicker windshield and beefed up connections all over.
