Any suggestions you have about drilling the lock out will be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Gerry Archer Crystal River, Florida
P.S. I never use the key lock either but last Saturday my son parked the car in a dark area and he probably locked the trunk with the key because he knew I had tools in it and he wasn't familiar with the vacuum locking system..
