[s-cars] RE: trunk stuck shut

[Krasusky Paul (WQQ2PXK)]

Mark thoughtfully suggested: 

<<<Ok drop the car off in Queens, with a note on the trunk stating "Cash 
Inside" / "Drugs Inside" whatever moves you. You will surely come back to 
find the trunk open, if the car is still there. 

Have you tried the key in the lock and turn past top, as if you where 
unlocking it with out unlocking the car first ? ( you likely have, I just 
don't remember reading it). 

You may have to sneak thru the ski bag, or get someone smaller to do it, and

manually open the latch.

Heh heh heh...  good one, thanks for the laugh MarkyMark. 

Seems all one's got to do here to get things off the stupid 'Vote' or the
smoking topic is to be a huge prick.  Cool, I got that covered 8-).


ANYwho... 

No, my trunk tumbler is NOT in the 'valet' setting.  I have tried the master
key in both doors as well as the trunk, nothing.  Tumbler is vertical
(non-valet mode).  Glovebox solenoid did nothing, nor did the key in door
held in lock position for the 'auto close' feature.

Key in trunk lock can lock the car and unlock the car, just the trunk stays
locked.  Almost as if something became disconnected in the linkage.  I *did*
have an enormous Winnabego twin stroller and a pair of baby seats in there
the day before that we'd just purchased, but it seemed to fit without any
force needed to shut the lid.  And it opened fine to get it out.  

Sneak through ski sack???  Sure, if I had Mini Me here.  Well, I do, but
Tyler's likely too big too and I'm guessing Jen might frown on that.  


I can't be the only one here to have this happen??? 

Seriously...  what would the dealer do (ASIDE from charge me $8,756.99 to
not fix it and F up my timing belt job or something)???

Again, seriously, any help is appreciated.  I'm at a total loss for WTF I'm
going to do on this one.  Maybe I'll take Tom Green's suggestion and puff a
few bones through the ski sack and smoke the sucker open...  or...  then not
care that it's stuck shut?  

Thanks again, and if nothing more hey at least this is AUDI CONTENT...
