Hi..
In my car I have one key and locks the doors and the front trunk only. The dash and the rear trunk, apparently, do not match. Whats the best way to fix this? I cant take it to a locksmith cuz they arent going to want to remove the lock from the dash.. are they? Is it hard to remove myself? If so, where can I find the procedure for removing these. Its not a huge deal, but it would be nice to be able to lock the dash down. Thanks, David |

it's easy to do yourself if you have a selection of tumblers to play with.
took me about 1/2 hour per lock (including lock removal and putting it back). the tumblers are numbered 1 through 4 (read: 4 different sizes), that's all! put your key in the lock that doesn't match the key and see which tumblers are sticking out. take those out and replace with 1 number up/down, try again until all tumblers are flush with the cylinder when the key is in and you're done! be careful not to lose any of the tiny springs! best is to do it one tumbler at the time. really not that hard, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) Andy |
