Here's yet another way to go through walls. This was discovered back in 2012 / 2013, but wasn't documented on video very well until now.

If you brush against your partner from the side, a little from behind them, they do a canned animation where they turn 180 degrees while also taking a step forward. This is the animation that can push Cole out of bounds if he happens to be situated between the partner's back and a wall at the time.

Opening the notebook sometimes helps. It is also useful if you can get your partner to do this motion against a corner.

Another extra tip: whenever in front of a real door, your partner always steps a little behind Cole facing towards the door. It's really easy to try out this 180 degree turn from this point on. This setup is used in this video as well.

Unlike most NPC and partner glitches, this one should work in the patched version / Complete Edition, so that's a bonus?

Unfortunately this trick also has a ton of limitations. Much like the car door wall breach, this trick might not help you much if you want to breach something more complex than a simple fence or a door. Most buildings have two layers of walls, so in these cases the glitch only gets Cole stuck in between them.

While being inside walls CAN help you in the sense that it takes Cole closer to any clues inside the building, sometimes enabling you to examine them from outside and get Cole teleported inside, this has to be planned pretty well in advance. And yeah, not every area even has clues (especially if you try to get there before the game tells you to).

Also, it's a hassle trying to get your partner positioned in a correct way to do this glitch on the fly... But maybe this glitch will still come in handy in some specialized situation.
