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) |

You can drill a small hole in the trunk floor from the bottom and feed a coat hanger in to pull down on the latch!
