I have tried everything to get into this thing. The rear trunk latch is obviously destroyed and I am just about at the point of drilling the thing out to get inside and install another. I tried opening up the underside access panel just above the transmission but that wont budge either.
Has anyone ever drilled on out? And if so, what was your technique and how did you get the sucker open after? I have seen the latches posted on ebay for about 10 bucks so I dont mind replacing just wondering if that is my ticket to get inside. Any help is appreciated (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

There is a little tit on the back end of the lock cylinder that triggers the mechanism. It is what breaks off. I don't have an image handy.
look at this eBay listing ... the little circular thingy next to the lock cylinder assembly. The "tit" on that little thingy breaks off. Trunk Trigger Thingy When you turn the assembly with the key to lock, the "tit" moves out of the way and won't trigger the mechanism. |
