[T3] rear trunl problem

[Dennis Stiefel]

Hello all! Today when I opened my rear trunk to do an oil change, the trunk
opened as usual. The wind blew the lid closed and when I went to reopen it,
either the cable snapped or something else went screwy. The lever on the
door pillar has no resistance whatsoever. How do I a: open my trunk and b:
install a new cable? Are these still available or does anyone have one for
sale? Thanks Doug "Leilani" '73 Fastback FI

Doug mine broke when we had it all striped down and was changing the rear
apron.  I got mine from ISP can't remember if it was new or used.  The only
way I could think to get in is if you can get a skinny screw driver or coat
hanger up under where the indention is in the middle of the apron for your
fingers to go in to lift the deck lid. There is a arm up under the latch
where the cable hooks up to. If you can flick that with whatever you can
work up in there it should open. Once you get it open and until you get your
new cable you can take part of the remains of the old cable and hook it up
to that arm I mention earlier and let it hang out side for a temporary way
to open it.  If you need I can do a video with mine and point this out and
send it to you or Skype or face time you.
