Trunk Problem
 

Ok guys, this sucks. Someone tried to/broke into my trunk, and in the process, evidently damaged the mechanisim. Keys wont work, won't even go in the key hole completely, nor does unlocking the car and just pushing the trunk button open the bastard. I took out the first aid kit boxes to check it out from the inside, and I can see a rod with a spring and stuff on it. Short of taking the car in, is there a diagram of the lock or a way to open that bad boy up?

On a side note, what is it with Mercedes? Mine's an 81 and the thing rides like a dream. I've been in much newer/new cars that aren't as smooth a ride. And since it rides that nice, the interior needs to reflect that.

If they damaged the lock you might as well order a new one and drill out the old. Use a titanium bit and angle the cut to the 2 o'clock position.
