Photo of trunk latch needed please

Post by Myxr6turbo » Thu Sep 30, 2021 6:56 am

Hey guys. My car never came with the lower trunk piece so I'm unsure how the latch mechanism looks/works and if the lower piece needs cutring/shaping? Any photos with measurements would be great.

Latch on the trunk lid just catches the front edge of the lower trunk sheet metal. Do you have the trunk lid latch?

I don't know if Coupe and Runabout are the same.

Well Shawn, is any of this helpful to you or are you needing something else? Need to see the trunk lid latch and key?

Thats perfect. I haven't put the latch on yet as I don't have any keys. Is there a way to tell what keys I need for my lock?

The keys are all the same, they are more of a handle than a key. Easy to find original keys once you know what they look like. Some of the vendors have a repo key available.
