So I noticed that the bolts that hold fasten the latch to the rear trunk lid were loose, so I tightened them up. Now when I hit the remote to open the trunk (I have a rear reflector and remote cilanoid (sp?) I can hear it release, but it won't open. Is there another way in this thing? (and please don't say "climb through the rust holes" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Once you get the rear trunk lid open I would recommend a piece of wire or chain attached to the release lever under the latch. Run it down through a hole in the rear trunk floor, it should be long enough and come down by the rear muffler. Adjust it so you can pull it down and it releases the trunk latch.
I had this on a 914-8 that had a remote release. this will save you if your battery is dead.
