Title: Trunk Lock Help
Post by: asubimmer on March 18, 2006, 09:32:11 PM

Well I have never had any problems with my trunk lock ever.  I get back to school tonight and I go to unload my sister's and my stuff from the trunk and it won't unlock.  The button will push in and can turn to the left when its pushed in, but that doesn't unlock it.  I can turn it like halfway when the button is out but not far enough to unlock it.  What gives?  My ski tunnel is not cut out, is there any way to get in there?  We need our stuff so we can do our work for class :(
 
thanks guys

well I knocked out the ski tunnel and crawled through into the trunk.  Then I unscrewed the lock and opened the trunk.  When I put the lock back on it worked perfect just like before.  Sooo I don't really know exactly what happened but its fine now :)

How small are you? There's no way I can fit through the ski hatch and I am a skinny mofo.
