Trunk Lock Retainer
We just disassembled the trunk lock assy. on our '64 GTO. Turning the key was very difficult---to the point that we were afraid the key would break.
We determined. that the problem was the retainer referred to in this thread. If I tighten the screws that hold the retainer in place, the problem occurs. The solution was to just snug the screws, mildly compressing the rubber gasket. When left like this, all is well. If I had known this in advance, no disassembly would have been necessary.
The retainer we have is the curved one. I assume it got bent at some time, causing the problem. This is one of the many areas we need to be careful, since most all of the parts for this trunk lock assy. are not available.
