Default Re: Trunk Lid won't open

The lock cylinders for ‘41 thru ‘48 are different from the ‘40. Two versions: the first allows the key to be removed only in the locked position, the second version allowed the key to be removed in locked or unlocked position (introduced mid ‘ 47). Regardless of which you use, it is recommended to “dry-fit” the lock into the handle assembly while the assembly is removed from deck lid. Test for proper operation and install the handle assembly fully assembled as a unit. You wouldn’t want to accidentally shut the trunk if the cylinder had been installed in the wrong position.
