Another question for my 1983 Mexican Mustang 5.0/4-speed.
How to open the rear hatch without a key? To explain...
I removed the lock from the drivers door and took it to a locksmith to get keys made. The new keys work fine on that lock. Problem is, they DON'T work on the passenger door, glovebox or rear hatch locks!
Guess I'll have to remove these locks and have them re-keyed to match the driver's door.
On a related note, the glovebox latch just FELL APART the last time I opened the glovebox door! The little pot metal pieces fell out and the spring came out. No idea why! It was working fine before that happened. All that was in there was those two pieces and one long spring (is that all there is?).
No sign of any parts to hold the latch parts in.
I removed the latch from my 82 Capri to compare it to the one from the Mustang, and it's the same. There is no external part that holds these bits in. Will someone in the know please explain how this thing works and how to put it back together correctly?
Thanks!
