How to replace the trunk lock mechanism
To replace the trunk lock mechanism on an Acura 3.5 RL:
1. Use a small screwdriver to press the inside hook down through the access hole.
2. While pressing the hook, pry the trunk handle up with a flat-tip screwdriver to remove it.
3. Remove the key cylinder from the cover.
4. Install the new key cylinder by reversing the removal steps. Ensure:
- The two trunk handles are properly put together before installing them on the trunk pass-through cover.
- The trunk pass-through cover opens properly and locks securely.
Adjust the trunk lid if necessary after installation:
- Loosen each bolt slightly.
- Adjust the trunk lid hinges right, left, fore, and aft using the elongated holes.
- Turn the trunk lid edge cushions to make the trunk lid fit flush with the body.
- Move the striker to adjust the fit between the trunk lid and the opening.
- Tighten all bolts securely.
