JACK Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 I recently had a problem with my trunk release on my 99 sts, I could only open the trunk with the key, fixed problem by replacing trunk latch. My question is on my 07 dts, there is no trunk key hole, how does one open the trunk if the release does not work? Do not have this problem now but was just curious if there is another way to open the trunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not have this problem now but was just curious if there is another way to open the trunk. Fold down the center armrest in the back seat...Open the pass thru... There is a little "T" handle hanging down close to the trunk latch... Keep swatting at it with a broom handle or something long enough to reach it... Eventually you will hit it just right...and it will open the trunk. You could also tie a STRONG piece of string/twine to it and tape it to the underside of the trunk lid with the end up close to the pass thru. I should do that also...just haven't actually DONE IT yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
