We will be making a rear trunk lock repair kit that replaces the rubber base, the outter bezel and the lock button. It will allow you to use your lock (no re keying) to make the one you have look brand new.
Who's in? |

I can machine out of steel pretty easily. Its a part that everyone should purchase BEFORE they break. After they break, getting your trunk open is a pita. That part should have never been made out of weak metal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) i just inspected mine and as you mentioned it is some soft metal. It seems to be made of zinc. i would buy a steel one of these in a heartbeat. Heck even 6061-T6 aluminum would outlast the zinc. |
