Anyone know how to get a trunk open on a 64 Newport or similar? My trunk is stuck shut due to the key lock actuator arm falling off the lock cylinder. Does the rear seat come out from the front? Can you Jimmy the trunk open from the outside?

The rear seat comes out from inside the car....

When you push the seat bottom back, there will be tension pushing the seat forward. You'll need to hold the seat back as you lift up on the front of the seat cushion, similar to this.

If the problem is that this bar has come out of the lock set that slides through the latch...
Good Luck
Pull/slide the lock retainer out and pull the lock assembly out. Then you can use a screwdriver to turn the latch.How do you turn the latch when the lock cylinder is connected and it does not turn?
Good work!Thanks guys, I had just enough extensions plus my arm length to open the trunk!
