D-a-n-i-e-l Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 If you can get through the top storage area, you can open it by the release lever in the trunk.I am not sure how difficult it is to reach, but I do know that the lever is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex_houston Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Not too bad to reach. Just open the tannou cover and crawl in.If you have little kids around, now would be the time to send them in to push the red lever over.( or was it yellow? seems like I have seen both colors) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest weewilly Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Same question on the coups. Is there a switch in trunk to open trunk? if so where is it located and do I need to climb through rear panel and get in trunk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Drake Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Been there, done that. YES you have to go through the interior rear access door. Orange lever on driver's side of trunk latch, just pull down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRP Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 My trunk/glove box key works to open my 91 conv. trunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Drake Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Richard doesn't have a problem with his trunk key, his problem is the battery was removed from the car, and you cannot open the trunk with the key. The trunk lock is activated electically even when using the key. No battery, & you have to release the trunk lock manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mounthopewalt Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 On my Reatta convertible, I was able to reach the trunk release lever without crawling inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
