Anyone can help me swap a trunk (Berkeley area)?
Swap completed, thanks Kevin!
Anyone in Berkeley/Albany/El Cerrito area can help me swap a trunk? It'll be great if you have done the trunk swapping before. I'm not working this and next week so weekday is actually beter for me. Weekend works too but may be a little busy with kids home. I'm in Albany, very close to Albany Subaru dealer.
If you can help, please PM. Thanks a lot.

I can't make it out there, but definitely use blankets or any soft fabric to lay the trunks on. I laid it on cardboard and even that caused some fine scratches.
The trickiest part will be swapping out the locks. The piece of metal holding the lock in place is a PITA.

Anyone else available? 3 people including myself would be ideal especially when taking off and putting back on the trunk.

2 people is plenty. Only reason you need 2 is to hold the trunk up while bolting it down. Everything is simple, just caress the metal plate off of the key cylinder.
I don't need more cowbell dammit!
