Trunk Operation?
How were these designed to work. I disassembled and cleaned up the latch, it seems to be operational now but I have a question if it's actually working properly.
It's locked. It will open with the key, but remove the key and close it and it's locked again. Is that normal? Edited to add that it's a 40 Tudor Deluxe Last edited by DMMuir; 08-30-2020 at 10:10 PM. |

Re: Trunk Operation?
Are we supposed to guess what car you are asking about?

Re: Trunk Operation?
For '41 - '48 cars I have found two different locks. One will only let you remove the key when the handle is locked and the other will release the key in either locked of unlocked position.

Man, am I relieved. At first, I thought this was some sort of surgery on an elephant's proboscis. LOL

Re: Trunk Operation?
The ‘40 trunk lock cylinder (Hurd version) can be modified to be able to remove key in locked or un-locked position. I usually keep one in stock , but can modify existing if OEM Hurd.

Re: Trunk Operation?
If I am using the trunk in my 40 coupe, I leave the key in the lock. Then everyone tells me I forgot the key in the trunk!

Re: Trunk Operation?
I ground the head of the key to my '40 trunk so it would fit under the cylinder cover when closed.

Re: Trunk Operation?
I put a new weather strip on my 40 Tudor. It is thicker than the old dried out one,which makes getting the trunk open interesting. you have to push on the trunk under the handle to get it open
