I have a regular locking rear trunk. No solenoid or Porsche reflector.
The trunk has opened fine every time for three years. Since Joe installed all my EFI electronics in the trunk I have started locking it. It worked fine locking and unlocking it for six months. This week, when I unlock the trunk, it will not open. The lock cylinder rotates fine with the key, but pressing the lock in does not unlatch the trunk lid. Anyone have this problem before and figure out what to do? Thanks...John |

Good tips, thanks! Taping the extensions together and taking out the hinge bolts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) I was thinking taking the hinge bolts out would be a slam dunk until I looked at the pin and how it is held in by the catch. I think even with the hinges out I still need to unbolt the catch. Car is at Porsche of Melbourne having a tech inspection for its first DE next week. They are fixing an oil leak that is currently causing the car to fail tech. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) John |

If you haven't done it yet, don't do it ! or proceed with great caution. I forgot about the torsion bars. They are powerful and dangerous. If you can, do the job through the cup holes. It is difficult but possible. If you remove the hinge bolts you must devise a way to release the torsion bar with some kind of control. Be safe first. |
