Default 64 Trunk Bound Up

Need some expertise.

The trunk on my 64 is bound up tight and won't open. Have tried driving around, WD40 in the key cylinder, pressure on the deck, etc. etc. etc. Nothing works.

An ideas short of crawling in thru the trunk?

Thanks,
Rick

Good luck on trying to crawl thru the trunk. MAYBE in a convertible if you trash the cloth pocket that the top folds down into and you have put the top up.

Default FWIW...

I dip my keys and work all locks a couple of times a season to keep everything sliding as it should.
