Generally, I can easily unlock the rear hatch, so long as I'm using my right
hand.  Left must torque the key differently or some such thing.  Somet9imes
I can get it with the left, but usually not.

|In most cases, a new correctly cut key (NOT a duplicate of one of yur other
|keys) will solve that problem.  It may also require cleaning and
|lubrication.  This is a common occurrence with keys that are 5-10
|ngenerations old, combined with crusty locks.  We can handle the key and
|cleaning/lubricationg or you can do the cleaning yourself.  Do NOT use WD40
|or graphite.
