The bad news is that the repo handles, whether rumble or trunk, are not well made. Common problems are broken locking tang and inadequate distance between the latch mechanism and the handle gasket so that the latch cannot turn into the latching position. I had to go through 2 before one would work, and then I had to do a little filing on it. Never crank hard to lock or unlock or somethings gonna break. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
