I installed a electric magnet release on my trunk. Tested it and all was great. So I thought it would be working for a while - at least long enough until I put a secondary release in, but I was totally wrong.

So not only is the release not dis-engaging the lock, I was stupid enough to already mount the P O R S C H E reflector on the face.

There is a small gap between the reflector and the trunk that I might be able to wiggle a coat hanger into, but I'm not sure a) if that will work, b) how to wiggle the coat hanger even if I get in into the lock hole, or c) is there a better way?

So don't (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) me, I'm already feeling like (IMG:style_emoticons/default/post-2-1117899824.gif)
