Psych0matt Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 (edited) who are you, and where are more pictures of that beautiful car? EDIT: Nevermind, found them :-3 (sorry, I'm not sure about the lock cylinders ) Edited June 19, 2011 by Psych0matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 drill out little rivet on the clip below the lock(sometimes you can snap it off with a flat head screwdriver). remove clip. sometimes the clip does not come out because of a little snap tab that jambs, make sure to remove the one from the dead trunk lid first to see what it looks like, if it jambs it often requires a little bending of the hole in the lid that the clip passes through right where the offending tab is. Pull locks out. remove the rivet remains from the hole (usually knocks right in). switch locks. use a screw in the rivet hole. done, unless you want to go up and lubricate the lock while it is out.

crazyd Posted June 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Just finished installing it, didn't have to drill anything out. There's a large clip that hooks into place to hold in the cylinder, remarkably easy. Hard part was splicing the wires and getting it aligned with the body. I've had the flimsy luggage rack on mine and never liked it, so this was an upgrade to a 94 SE trunklid & spoiler, vast improvement. Thanks to all!

rockfangd Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 that is one hot color. Is it factory? Yeah the lock cylinders are cake. Most time the rivet just pops off and you just slied the clip down enough to pull the cylinder out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyd Posted June 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Thanks, no it's not factory. I had it redone in '09. http://www.w-body.com/showthread.php/42159-Best-GP-color-I-have-ever-seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyd Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I still have the "24 Valve V6" badges sitting in the car waiting to be painted and reapplied. I got some of the paint to do them so I've been thinking about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
