I seem to recall the adapter was easy to find and inexpensive, may $20 or so. I did toy briefly with making a new adapter from brass. My challenge was how to get the trunk open as the latch broke with it shut and locked. I suspect if the trunk if packed full with luggage and the like it would be a real challenge but mine wasn't that full and someone suggested removing the back seat, linking about 5 or 6 feet of socket extensions together, and just unbolting the lower latch bar. Worked like a charm.
