DarsteMyst Posted October 5, 2024 Share Posted October 5, 2024 I am now in Colorado. This morning, my trunk is inoperable. 1986 560SL. The trunk key only rotates about three-quarters of the way to the unlock position. The door key is exclusively designed to open the doors. It is not catastrophic unless I need tools for the remainder of my journey; but, I will be donning the same attire. Do you have any recommendations?

skirlwalty Posted October 5, 2024 Share Posted October 5, 2024 Invert your underwear, then rotate it from front to back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomatoeincluding Posted October 5, 2024 Share Posted October 5, 2024 This recalls the occasion when I informed my wife that I could prepare my own luggage for a two-week vacation to New Jersey at a training facility without a rental vehicle. I realized that I neglected to bring underwear. I spent the whole two weeks washing my shorts each night before going to bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partexpat Posted October 5, 2024 Share Posted October 5, 2024 A thread exists here detailing the precise location for drilling a hole to access the latch mechanism, with dimensions and other specifications. Continuing the search. Rowdie participated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarsteMyst Posted October 5, 2024 Author Share Posted October 5, 2024 If it occurs again, it may be my necessary course of action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver6933 Posted October 5, 2024 Share Posted October 5, 2024 It is evident which individuals on this forum have been married for an extended duration. For around $15, one may get a pack of 3 to 5 Hanes or Fruit of the Loom items at any retail establishment, ranging from Family Dollar to Super Walmart.

DarsteMyst Posted October 5, 2024 Author Share Posted October 5, 2024 No other issues have arisen since I opened it. However, I will not be storing my CPAP in the trunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
