Thumbs down seized trunk lock

Hey everyone,

I have my stereo in my trunk and I can`t get it open. I can`t use the safety release because I can`t reach it. My brother in law took out my lock last year and took out a broken key it work great, but now it won`t work at all. I need to get my stereo out. Can anyone help. Please.

When I locked my keys in the trunk, I used one of those claw tools you can get at parts stores to reach the safety release.

When mine failed, I just lowered the seat backs and crawled thru and pulled the release. I weigh 212lbs, and fit thru. If that doesn't work, squeeze i n there with a flashlight, and a screwdriver, and pop the lock out from the inside. all that holds it in is a C-clip, then you can use the screwdriver to operate the lock.
