trunk
i went to open my trunk today and it will not open. and no its not locked i tried locking and unlocking my trunk. it wont budge. i think the locking mechanism is stuck. any one know how to fix this?
|
Prolly have to do what I did in my MKIV jetta. Pull the rear seat down and climb into the trunk with a flash light and some tools to take the panel off of the deck lid to access the mechanism
|
i have 2 12" subs that are blocking the way... that would be the last resort. i will if i have to. any other ideas?
|
Sorry to ask the obvious, but you did try the keyhole in the trunk right?
|
And more obvious, the trunk has an individual lock, which makes it not open with the remote. Stick the key in, and turn it a quarter turn counter clockwise, then another 1/8th? Turn to unlock the trunk
|
yeah i tried it multiple times. i doubt trying to pry it open will do anything but mess up my paint..

yeah i wasn't going to try to pry it open. i guess the only way to open it is to try and get to the locking mechanism..

Spray a little WD-40 or something similiar where you insert your key in the trunk and It will should free it up
|
just tried the WD-40 in the key hole. sprayed a good bit in there i let it set for about a minute then i tried to open it. no success
