How to access 1993 Toyota Tercel trunk, I have a broken lock and no rear seat access.?

Hi,


Please help me access my 1993 Toyota Tercel trunk, I have a punched out lock and can't access the trunk through the back seat.





Thanks!





Michael|||Probably because a rod goes from the lock down to the latch. Seriously, even on sedans you should be able to remove the back seat lower base and then the seat back and reach through with a long socket and extension and get to the latch to unbolt it and release the deck lid or release the pull rod. You may also be able to fish around with a coat hanger wire through your punched-out lock hole and grab the pull rod for the latch and open it that way. If this is just a beater car, you can just bend a coat hanger into a pull mechanism and let it dangle outside the hole for future use. I had a banged-up 1987 Tercel sedan and did that. Called the car the "UBV" Urban Battle Vehicle...


Hope this helped.


Jim|||with a flashlight,look into the punched out hole


you should find a slot,


insert a screw driver and turn


this should open your trunk
