So after installing my intergrated tail lights, i started to put back the rear fairings and after i was done. Snap the seat back on....
then OH SHEEETTTTT!! locked out of my trunk... LOL
i forgot to snap the trunk cable back into place because it was attached to my rear fairing earlier so i had to disconnect it inorder to get a better angle to install my lights..
began to panic because my tools + photocopy of my insurance and ownership was in there so if i get pulled over im screwed!
lifted my rear seat up just enough to slide something small in there
so ran into my house and cut up a coat hanger and bent the front of it into a small S hook using plysers (the giant S on the coat hangers was too big to slide it into place correctly)
using my new trunk unlocking tool, i used the flash light from my phone to attempt to unlock my trunk
10 mins later of tests i finally found the sweet spot where it would hook to the unlocking mechanism. gave it a nice pull
and..... the damn thing slipped off the lever haha. after another 2 tries of it i was finally able to unlock the trunk using a slow pull so it wouldnt slip off the lever before i had pulled the lever far enough to unlock the trunk
phew!! so for all you folks who had a similar issue, the coat hanger trick works great!
