the rear lock from the trunk, im getting the hole for the lock shaved and my spoiler holes ahved thursday....

thanks in advance

 

Its not that hard. I cant remember exactly but you remove the liner under the trunk lid by removing all the push pins. You probably already know that.lol. Anyhow there is going to be a rod going to the lock assembly that is attached to a plastic clip that you just push downward and it will unclip followed by I believe there may be a couple 10mm bolts holding the housing and mabye a clip or something. Sorry for not remembering exactly but once you have that panel removed just take a light and have a good look inside there and you will be able to see whats going on. It really isnt that hard though.

 

ok for rhe trunk lock theres a big metal clip pull it otu and the lock just falls out and the spoiler heat up the underside of the spoiler with a hair dryer and remove the 2 bolts on each side and start to pull and it will eventuallly come out

 

Take off the carpet, stick your hand in behind there and find a clip on the rear of the lock assembly. Pull it horizontally out, the only catch is it is in there real tight.

 

lol. Rod I say. Im thinking of the door handle assembly with the 10mm and the rod. Theres no rod on the trunk cylinder.lol. Yeah thats right, just that pain in the ass tight clip is all.

 

so you have to take the whole assembly out? or you can actually just remove the outside key lock from it and leave the rest in?

 

The lock is one whole piece, once you take off that horrible clip it all comes out.

 

how do i re-install the lock assembly with the trunk being shaved? lol the key hole on the outside won;t go through the trunk

bump before i go down to mothers in easton, pa for cinco de mayo

2 dollar coronas WOOT!

 

from what i remember it was just a tight ass clip on the lock cylinder, i took that out and the 3 bolts holding the electric lock assembly out, took out the lock, and replaced the electric assembly without the lock cylinder. trunk popper still works

 

push the lock in while pulling the retainer... it helps

 

you put it in the same way you took it out, but it seems to come out easier than it goes in lol.

 

i can;t seem to find the clip on the lock assembly... any help.....
