HELP PLEASE: Need to open my trunk

***gadalla*** · 06-02-2007, 05:17 PM

I did a trunk swap today with shglbmx...all went well until we closed it and realized we forgot to wire up the trunk popper. I have no way of getting into the trunk, I've tried everything I can think of.

Can someone tell me if theres a way to get to the latch in the trunk that opens it up?

***Zeuceone*** · 06-02-2007, 05:19 PM

take it to the dealer. or break it open

TJ213 · 06-02-2007, 05:22 PM

is there some way to drop the seats from inside?

**ImTheVoiceOfGod** · 06-02-2007, 05:22 PM

You could take the rear seat apart from the inside.
Start by pulling the bottom cushion off. Then you'll see big bolt on the outside edges. You should be able to figure the rest out.

Good luck.

***Zeuceone*** · 06-02-2007, 05:23 PM

thats the only way. remove the seats.

**ImTheVoiceOfGod** · 06-02-2007, 05:27 PM

I did it when I was doing my stereo/amp wire running.
Its really easy with the seats down. Shouldnt be too much harder with the seats up. You should atleast be able to get them to pry open enough to reach the seat release by the stock sub. Then just crawl in and pop the trunk.
