sorry then, its easy its just bolts, but how do you get the black clip holding the key hole in? i cant seem to pull it out.

 

just pull and wiggle man . . . that how i got it off before.

 

elbow grease, i got my bolts un-stuck, you just need to break the paint seal.

now how much of a pain in the *** is the lock process?

huh?

 

BMW STEP biotch!!!!

 

what the hell is with you. Your like the most retarded retard ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i've swaped trunks a couple of times already... I found it easiest to take off the black clip for the first time, is to wiggle the clip as far as you can and then take a flat-headed screw driver and wrap a towel around it and use it as leverage until it pops. After the first time, it clips on and off more easily. All the wiring for the spoiler 3rd brake light and the wingless 3rd brake light is there. Pretty much swap lock cores first, unplug wiring, unbolt the trunk lids off the arms, take the torsion bars off and then do the reverse. Let me know if you have any more questions.

 

Okay, I saw a half dozen dudes around BlueBlur's trunk looking at the lock. So how do you remove that trunk lock?
I had to leave so I couldn't hang around to see the outcome. I assumed it was just a c-clip around the lock and that one L shaped rod to connect it.
Still have to do mine....

Larry just tugged away at it and it finally came out, i guess you just have to keep trying.

Oh and, Is there a way to adjust the trunk? mines off a bit.

 

yes he does/should have the wiring for a stock spoiler. i know i did.

 

Yeah he did, we already swaped thanks for the help guys.

 

The drunk moves a little bit within the holes I believe, so you may be able to move it a little bit in order for it to fit correctly if it already isnt. Mine fit fine though when I swapped mine.

man, that is so simple to do..... take it in the shop if you cant I can show you how.

The holes are exactly the same size as the bolts so theres no room to move. Its not off that much so ill just leave it
