Re: Get rid of Hatch Lock?

You will have to remove the rear valence panel to get to the rivets that hold the key lock in place. Just drill the rivets to remove the lock and fiberglass over the lock hole in the panel.



Although it's kinda small, you can see the rear hatch lock in the above picture with the panel removed.
