Откройте крышку багажника (салона) Datsun Fairlady (Roadster) 66-го года выпуска, если механизм замка сломан
У меня Datsun Fairlady 66-го года выпуска (в США его называют родстером), и механизм блокировки багажника сломан. Если в замок вставлен правильный ключ, механизм поворачивается, но без сопротивления, и ничего не происходит. И без вставленного ключа механизм также поворачивается без сопротивления. Я могу сказать, что на каком-то этапе кто-то пытался открыть его с помощью отвертки, потому что на замке есть контрольные знаки.
The question is, how do I get my boot open?
As far as I can tell, gaining access from the parcel shelf area isn't viable as there are no holes there at all.
The only access to the boot interior that of I know of are the 2 small screw holes for the number plate, the small area provided when removing the tail lights at either side and one small (possibly non-standard) hole in the bottom of the boot.
So far my plan is to poke some bent wire through one of these holes and try to latch onto the internals of the mechanism in order to get it to open. The trouble is, apart from this being a not great plan that could take me hours, that I have no idea what the internal mechanism looks like or how it operates so I don't know if I should be trying to push, pull or turn something.
If anyone has any photos or diagrams of the mechanism or can describe what to do then that'd be great.
Otherwise I'm open to other tips or suggestions on how I should go about this. Perhaps I should be trying to pick or force the lock or some other such thing.

If you can get through the license plate hole on the left side of the trunk key and simply press down on the back of the latch mechinsm while holding pressure down on the trunk lid it just might open up for you.
The lock simply has a small arm that performs the same task. Keep in mind, the key for this lock must be inserted with the smooth side up. The lock will let you insert the key upside down, but wont actually move the mechinism. Feel free to email me if you want some pictures. Roadster@roadrunner.com
