As I near the end of my restoration, I was just refitting the rear trunk lid back on the car. The fit seemed to be good, and as I brought it down it latched. When I tried to open it nothing happened. I figured it was in the locked position, but after turning the lock to the opposite position, it still would not open. I must have reversed the plunger or opening pin when I had it apart to clean.

Any ideas on how to get it opened would be appreciated. Before I get the Dremel or drill out to do surgery, I’m hoping someone has a less invasive solution. Thanks in advance, John |

I feel for you....I did the exact same thing last year, after rebuilding the lock....I ended up drilling it out and buying a new one from a fellow forum member. When you get the new one remove the latch/assembly from the actual lid, then leave the lid up and reinstall and you can test it a few times to be confident, then reattach the lid portion. Good luck.
