Hi guys, my '74 was recently reassembled. The front trunk would open a couple of weeks ago, but now when I pull the handle, it won't move at all. The handle pulls out without too much trouble, but I don't hear anything pulling on the latch. What's the trick to get it open?
Thanks in advance, Rick |

Thanks guys. My brother came by today and we got it to open per Cairo's directions. This is why I love this site, best advice and best experts! What is the best lube to get into all the areas that need to be covered? silicone spray, lithium grease?

I've been bailed out many times by these guys. This is one of those sites where when it goes down everyone goes to another site (pelican) and starts a thread "what happened to 914world?" and we carry on. |
