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) |

That should read "remove the two 10mm bolts that hold..." Get yer shit straight Cap'n (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Au contraire, mon ami, it is YOU who should get his shit straight. Bolts are measured by their thread size, NOT the wrench size. Back to kindergarten for you. You may wonder why I'm being so easy on you. Hey, it's the holiday season, as well as the end of the year, and I have a contractual obligation to be nice to one person each year. You're that person. Congrats! The Cap'n |
