Honestly, a lock pick.

I bought one a few months ago and within an hour I had a couple simple locks open. Not hard really. Amazon sells them for under $20. Those locks aren't that great.

What ever you do, DON"T DRILL IT OUT. LOL. I'm not sure what I was thinking or what I did, but I ruined the finishing panel trying to pry out the lock or something. I have no idea. Maybe It was the old owner. I know I drilled out the lock but I can't recall why the panel would be all messed up there. LOL.

The rod fell off the lock..."picking the lock" would not help. :'(

I timed it...it took 3 mins to remove the license plate holder (2 bolts) Likely could have left it on. and (4 screws) on the filler neck, a little persuasion, and it came right out. Reached in with two fingers and opened the latch... I had to remove the rubber floor seal to make the re-install go easier (4 screws)

No pulling out seats, no squeezing my self into the trunk....

Pretty simple really

Couldn't do that with a Challenger, another reason Cudas are better.  :Stirring:

Don't keep anything too valuable in a cuda trunk?
