I installed a electric magnet release on my trunk. Tested it and all was great. So I thought it would be working for a while - at least long enough until I put a secondary release in, but I was totally wrong.
So not only is the release not dis-engaging the lock, I was stupid enough to already mount the P O R S C H E reflector on the face. There is a small gap between the reflector and the trunk that I might be able to wiggle a coat hanger into, but I'm not sure a) if that will work, b) how to wiggle the coat hanger even if I get in into the lock hole, or c) is there a better way? So don't (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) me, I'm already feeling like (IMG:style_emoticons/default/post-2-1117899824.gif) |

The threads really don't expound on the process Eric mentioned.
Open your engine lid Pop the plastic cups out of the trunk (one on either side, when the top is stored the latches reside in the cups) Then you will need about 5 foot of socket extensions and a 10mm socket. Tape them together with some duct tape as you feed them into the trunk. Insert the extension/socket through one cup hole and shine a flashlight through the other. Remove the trunk latch bolts.
