The problem is that somehow my trunk ended up locking. How can I get it open? The trunk is empty so not a huge deal but I would like to get into it eventually.

many long extensions with a 10mm socket on the end.
The locking mechanism has two 10mm bolts, one on either side of the lock. Remove them. You access it via the cup that normally hold the roof latches....just push them into the trunk. Socket goes in the drivers side, light source into the passenger side. Lay on the trunk to see what you are doing. rich |
