Just bought the car listed above LX model and it came with one key that is only for the ignition. Apparently the original key was broken in half and ignition changed but never replaced the key. How to I take out the trunk lock cylinder so I can have a new key made? I was told it was the easiest lock to remove but regardless of that I cannot find a how to anywhere.

The lock should slide out after you remove the retainer clip. Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed. Cheers, Ken
