    :Welcome: from Northeast Pennsylvania

    If your truck is now closed and locked, you can pull out the back seat and crawl in the truck with a flashlight and get it unlatched - then remove the lock cylinder

    Push the bottom of the rear seat back towards the rear of the car and lift up - that will unlatch that section for you - then there are 2 bolts at the bottom of the back part of the rear seat - unbolt them and lift that section up and over their top retaining clips - remove the paper divider and in the trunk you go

    Once you crawl in the trunk...remove the screw on the side of this clip and remove the clip. Use a screwdriver to turn the latch

    Awesome. Thank you so much. I got mine out no problem. I didn't find a secret stash of money or a winning lotto ticket so I can finish my 71, but this was a huge help. Thx
