Reply to "I need advice concerning how to open a rear decklid (bonnet) that won't unlatch."

panteradonMember

We ultimately unbolted the decklid from the car. That enabled us to rock it to the side and us a long screw driver to knock the shock off of the pin on each side. Once the shock was removed, moving the decklid around to get it to release from the car was easy.

The shocks are so strong that they crushed the latch mechanism on the decklid. I will be ordering the lock and the decklid portions today to put it back together.

Thanks for all the help!!!!
