do any of u know how to take the trunk lock off of a mustang, w/the trunk locked? i bought the car w/out a key for the trunk and a locksmith will charge me $18 to make one if i can get the lock, I'm thinking of going to the lock from the inside, any suggestions?

You're on the right track. Balanced in the back of a cv, took out the well liner, got all the extensions I could muster and slowly loosened the lock. Soon the lid released. Having a bunch of extensions together is a trip in itself. A coupe's a little easier. If there's a lot of stuff in the trunk, you are NOT in high cotton!

Get a flashlight and a small flathead screwdriver and needle nose pliers. Take out the rear seat, and cram yourself up there.

There is a spring which holds a flat piece (lock to latch). Remove that, and then you then use the screwdriver to turn and open the trunk.

Thats how I recall it, but its been 7 years since I locked my keys in the trunk.
