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)

I also had a similar setup .... thinking proactively, I abandoned the electric solonoid and opted to go with a manual trunk release. As mentioned in an earlier post, in addition to the manual trunk release, I also installed a pull chain thru the trunk floor as a secondary backup to the trunk release.
