<VV> Late model trunk lock

[HallGrenn at aol.com]

Ed,
 
This was discussed a few months back in VV.  If you are right handed  remove 
the driver's side headlight chrome trim which will expose the screws/nuts  
that hold the headlight bucket in place--remove them.  Push firmly, but  slowly 
in (I used a towel over the headlights when I had to do this), rocking  the 
bucket from side to side as the 40 year old sealer breaks loose.  When  the 
bucket has been pushed back into the trunk you can reach in and turn the end  of 
the flat rod that protrudes slightly from the lock mechanism.  (This is  the rod 
that is attached to the key cylinder and extends into the lock  mechanism).  
The trunk will pop open as it normally does.
 
Replace the bucket using new sealer (3M rope caulk works well) and you're  
back on the road.
 
Best of luck
