I was putting the lock back together on my rear trunk today and now it won't open. How do I get it open without the button? Thanks

Yes were talking about a 914 here. the whole assembly was uninstalled. i Installed it the way it should have been correctly but when i push in the button it doesnt seem to be pushing the pin far enough to release it. it may be in the wrong orientation but I think i installed it correctly. Just trying to figure out how I can open it now. Thanks

QUOTE(matteyp @ Jun 15 2011, 05:01 PM)  Just trying to figure out how I can open it now. Open the engine lid, push one of the plastic cups that hold the targa top latches inside the trunk, get a flashlight, add enough extensions to your ratchet to cover the distance from the engine compartment to the trunk lock, add a 10mm socket to your extensions and unbolt the lock that way. This is MUCH easier if you push the second plastic cup into the trunk as well and have someone else shine the flashlight through that hole for you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |
