Hi all, if anyone has any advice, then I'd greatly appreciate it. The trunk of my '79 280CE will not open. The key will go into the key slot, but will not turn. I can depress the trunk-release button, but that does not allow the trunk to open.
There are items in the trunk that I need to get to, so even if I can't get the trunk open...then is there another way to get into the trunk, maybe through the backseat area?
I've gone to a local Mercedes-Benz mechanic, but he has way too many cars to work on before getting to mine...and he said I need to make another key at a locksmith and try that first. The key I already have works fine for the doors, just not for the trunk.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks all!!!
