When the pin broke on my latch someone of this forum (forget who) sent me pix of how they fixed theirs, pix attached and it's a rather neat solution. I was also lucky there was nothing in the trunk in the way of extending a socket on a long length of socket extensions to remove the latch bar and get the trunk lid open.

I just captured the pics and text by doing a print screen and
saving it under PAC trunk lock repair. Many thanks

It looks like he bent the outer one too

I was surprised that the lock emblem cleaned up. From the fire.

But I went thru chrome on one part. So going to re chrome it.
