I don't know, but I would like to know if it's possible to move my old drivers door lock cylinder into the new door I put on.

Maybe we can both get some help with this. #bump

it is possible. all you have to do is remove the entire lock without damaging it and simply put it in your new car or new door.

To be honest I have never attempted the swap so don't mark my words, but if you remove both locks and they both more or less have the same dimensions and clearances, why not?

The answer is no. The lock cylinder for both the trunk and the interior glovebox are different in design. Keep in mind the trunk one pushes in to allow access/to open.
