Locked out of the trunk ....

[1987cp]

Some people have been able to escape my trunk unless unconscious. There is a metal slot accessible on the back of the latch in my car.

Dude, ya trying to scare us or something? :p

The lock mechanism does have an Exposed Slot on the rear of it, which the Lock cylinder rod is inserted through. You can insert a screwdriver into said slot, and unlock the latch.

If you were locked inside the trunk, and didn't have a screwdriver on you, you could reach your arm through one of the holes in the support structure, pull the lock rod out of the lock cylinder spring, and then use it to turn the slot and unlock the mechanism.

The latch mechanism on my car is enclosed... I'd have to look at my '88 to see if thats open or not...

No, not at all. If I wanted something scary I would post the pics of the dents made from inside the trunk.

And, yeah, the lock appears shrouded, but is still easy to open it seems.

No need to call a locksmith then. I guess the rear seat removal/ long screwdriver method might work on a panther.

Now you've got me morbidly curious, ya weirdo. :p
