we have xlr that the trunk lid will not open, our mechanical department tried to open for a few days and coldnt open it, so they sent it to the body shop where i am the manager. it apprears the lid is trying to open for putting the top down instead of opening for the lid only the forward latches release and the lid will come up about 1/2 inch in the forward area. however the rear latch located in the rear center part of the lid does not seem to release. we have exhausted all of the recomendations from cadillac and wonder if anyone as anything else to add, thank you

have they called The Fonz ? the most famous of all TECHS !

Quite a mechanic that later became an auto mechanic instructor, then a school teacher and was quite skilled in fixing the stuck jukebox or opening stuck doors by hitting them with the side of his fist.
