Hello everyone,
I have a 1981 Westy with a stuck rear hatch lock. It used to work,
but one day the key just wouldn't turn.
I've spayed WD-40 numerous times, but still it would not turn.
I even spent $20.00 to have my locks re-keyed to the original code...now
my new key works great in all the locks except that pesky rear hatch lock!
Does anyone have any suggestions? If I have to get a new lock I
will, but I'd like to inspect my current lock...it could just be a stuck
pin or something in the lock.
How do I get the lock out? Unfortunatley, the rear hatch is closed
and locked. There's gotta be a way to get at the lock from the inside.
would someone please describe this procedure or any other procedure for
getting my rear hatch open so I can inspect the lock.
TIA,
Dan Burgos
'81 Westy
