Archiefromsv Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 I recently purchased a 1986 XT GL-10 Turbo, and I got it from a person who bought it from the impound. Unfortunately the impound didn't give him a key to start the car so they just put a new ignition in it. One problem is that I can't access the trunk to find out what is it. Are there any hints or tricks to opening trunks on these cars or do I have to go midevil and cut up my backseat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Take the lock out of the passenger door and read the code off it. Then take this code to a Subaru dealer (or two) and see if they can make a key from the code. If you cant find one that can post the code here and I will try to find you a dealer or shop that can make one. S-Wingstuff in Denver was successful at one point for me too. Otherwise you can take a screwdriver to the lock and break into it and then replace all the door and trunk locks with a set from a junked car with a working key.

Guest taprackready Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 You can just get a junkyard lock with no key and a locksmith can rework it to use your current key. Just did mine for $10. Much easier than replacing all the locks and the ignition. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hocrest Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 a. Along the drivers door sill in front of the seat their should be a lever to pop the trunk. Push to pop the fuel door, Pull to pop the trunk... b. There is a small pull tab at the top of the rear seat that will allow the rear seat back to fold down, allowing access to the trunk... c. I think the dealer can cut a key if you provide them with the VIN and proof of ownership... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
