2004 Subaru Impreza trunk lock cylinder got loose

Yesterday on my routine grocery store drive, when I parked the car, opened the trunk (with my keys) and... WTF!?


MY TRUNK LOCK WANTS TO ESCAPE!!

Luckily the cable connected in the back saved its life (and my money). Not knowing how to fix it at that moment, I was left with no choice but taping it and driving around whole day like a poor ricer who fixes his own car with tapes. =.=|||


The next day I did some search on the internet, found no tutorial about fixing your runaway trunk lock. So I decided to write one, and hopefully it would help if you somehow run in to the same silly problem as mine.

Step 1: Open the trunk.
Step 2: Remove the five clips around the emergency trunk lid release handle (plastic made, be careful...).


Step 3: Put away the trunk lid release handle assembly, and you will see the lock cylinder hidden behind.


Step 4: The rod clamp used to clip the cylinder in position has come off, that's the problem. I found the missing rod clamp in the corner of the trunk lid.


How the rod clamp mounts visualized. But this should happen in the back side of the trunk lid.


Step 5: This is how it looks after you put the rod clamp back. That's it! So cheaply mounted :(  I 'm kind of surprise it just came of once in nearly ten years.


Finally, the tape has gone :)

我被撤離了!

該從何說起呢...

1/17 (Thr) 凌晨2點,一位警察突然來敲門,然後我們就被趕出房子了。

事實上,是整棟房子的住戶都被撤離了。

他還說不能告訴我們發生什麼事,我們要求他先證明自己的身份,結果他還找ID找了半天,是沒料到說會來這招嗎? XD 事實證明Davis的警徽還滿遜的,比我們的學生證看起來還遜。

走到屋外,我們才完全相信這不是惡作劇,因為外面已經停了4輛警車跟一輛消防車



今夜只能在lab度過...lab的暖氣開24小時真是太好了



一大早起來回家查看,情況升級了 囧 聽說要到晚上才可能解除

中間還發現火雞趁亂告白!


只好再回到lab,原來要讓一個phd工作最有效的辦法,就是把他家給抄了。
