Trunk tumbler pissing me off.


Recommended Posts

Posted

Like the title says. My trunk lid tumbler is fucked. I can't get into my trunk, I do not have a trunk release or fold down seats. What can I do, short of taking out the back seat?

 

I've tried graphite lube too...

 

I'm stumped and fucked all at the same time.

Here's how I got into mine when the cylinder froze up...... Prolly not the best recommendation, but it worked.

Holy Shit, you really needed your stuff in the trunk that bad?

:lol: Yep! I had just moved when I wrecked the car, so I had a bunch of stuff in the trunk. 'Home' was a good 3 hours away from my new place, so I needed the stuff out of there ASAP.

Wouldn't have done me any good... all it had was that little 3" passthru hole.. rest of it is sheetmetal.

Yeah, but I thought if you pull the seat and some metal bracing that the hole that's left is a lot bigger than the pass thru?

i can crawl into my trunk with the backseat out easily. u have to take that black stuff outta the way though but its a nice sized hole

take the back seat out and remove the black stuff(sound dfening material) and its a good size hole trust me i know i had to learn the hard way when my lilttle brother locked the keys in my trunk n i didnt have a relase button either

Solution to this...

 

1 high speed drill

1 3/8" drill bit

lots of swearing

1 new tumbler

 

I drilled out the tumbler and opened it with a screwdriver.

then I removed the old lock and tossed the new lock in.
