[V8] Anyone taken apart the trunk lock mechanism?

[John Bysinger]

After you clean it out (WD-40, etc), and it's had a chance to dry.  Give it
a good dose of graphic powder inside the mechanism.  It's the ideal
lubricant for the pins and internals of the cylinder, and doesn't freeze in
cold weather.
