A Body Lost Trunk Key
- If you use the Big *** Screwdriver method you will likely spin the lock body damaging the trunk sheet metal rounding over the keyways that keep the lock body from rotating.
- If you have a locking glovebox the key should be the same, remove it and take that to the locksmith to have a key made.
Except that the glove box lock usually uses less pins than the trunk lock. IIRC 3 wafers instead of 5 pins. If the gas tank is out and there's no spare, you can go through the trunk floor plugs with ratchet, extensions, and wobble socket to unbolt the latch. Sometimes a slight pry on the upper part of the divider panel will release the latch(es). Drilling out the trunk lock is an easy, fast, and cheap way to do it. New trunk lock kits are cheap and easy to find. Just keep the tail piece rod off the old one to put on the new if you can. I have a whole huge ring of used trunk keys that I used to try and get a trunk open. I usually found one that would work if you fiddled with it enough.
