Default Re: Fitting a double DIN radio
Here is the hatch lock taken out of the car and on the bench, it is shown in the locked position. The vacuum/air line fitting snaps into the round white connector on the left of the latch.
I was reminded that magredvet did a post on how to open the hatch on a coupe using a screwdriver inserted through the driver side license plate light hole. It showed what to push but it did not have the locked and unlocked positions of the mechanism.


Here is the hatch lock with the mechanism in the locked position with a screwdriver pushing against the slide that has to be engaged with the latch handle in order to open the hatch.
Imagine that the red rectangle is the hole where the driver side license plate light goes with the screwdriver going through it.


Here is the slide pushed over to engage with the latch handle.
