lockedout of trunk

[GeoffCee]

Any one else with pictures can be a help if a bit further back so I can see the latch location in relationship to the head lights/centerline of vehicle. I may be able to make an L shaped tool that I can slide along the top of the lid to ingage the vertical section the spring attaches too.

Thanks again

Joe,
Great pic; Thanks! :thumbup:
I'm going to have to see if I can practice this stunt in the safety of the garage...

It took my dealer 5 min to reattach mine after they forgot to reconnect it during the recent fuse box repair. I don't know how but it must be easy enough try calling yours. :thumbup:

Does the release switch on the dash also operate through the cable or through a solenoid directly attached to the locking mechanism? Engine has to be running.

Just a clutch at another straw... :shocked:

No solenoid on base 2013 RT. Maybe same for 2014?

Actually this thread makes me really nervous about the security of the drunk now... once Bluestratous gets his unlocked, I wonder if the whole thread should be deleted so as to not leave an easy blueprint out the for any unscrupulous types...

Yes I am easily paranoid, but sometimes they really are out to get you (or your stuff).

If they wanted to open the trunk they are not going to try to unlatch it. hyea:

See your point. TBH (at least here in the UK) if the bad guy wanted in, he'd get in. A jemmy/tire iron to spring the lid enough
to get fingers in and then just snap the plastic. :yikes: The Spyder frunk is never going to emulate secure storage! More: Out of sight, out of mind.

Understand where you are coming from. For sure. But a thief ain't gonna bother with picking a lock. He'll just rip the lid open.

:agree: After all; it only takes a claw hammer, and about a quarter of a twist... :shocked: if you don't care about preserving the finish! :yikes:

And you can break into a car with a tennis ball with a hole in it in 5sec. Locks only keep honest people honest others not so much.:dontknow:

It's too late we already know where you live now.

Lol...

Thanks for the last picture, it is all coming together in my head now. I am work so in about 4 hours I will give it another try. I picked up an inspection camera at lunch so it should be easy now.

Lol, nope. I live by the motto "if it ain't locked down, it will walk away.". I'm the guy that has a thick cable locking down our table and chairs that sit out front...and we live in a pretty safe neighborhood.

NICE....really points out where to push -- great pic... thanks! :clap::clap::clap::clap:

Hope to never have to do this, but if I need to, I'll remember your pic!! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Not to hijack the thread but,

one of my riding buddys gave me one of these. He's convinced someone would be willing to put their face in one of my helmets :roflblack: :lecturef_smilie: http://pacsafe.com/lidsafe-anti-theft-helmet-bag

I live by the motto "why worry, be happy"..........."you live 'til you die" and "it's only money" .....

I will let you know how it goes tonight... until then... They are here, they are there, they are everywhere... so beware!!! lol.

Got it figured out for you. I sent you a PM with instructions and a link to pics . In the interest of not wildly, and widely, spreading around the solution for nefarious characters to pick up, I won't post it here. If anyone else needs to know how to do it PM me. Now I know why my spare smart key is not hidden in the frunk.

If anyone wants to know how to hide your spare key in, what I think anyway, is a fairly secure fashion but reasonably easy to access, PM me.
