Hello All. I'm getting the car prepped for the painter and I can't see how to remove the trunk core that holds the lock cylinder. Attached are 2 photos for reference. First is an outside shot of core with the lock cylinder removed. Second is what it looks like from inside the trunk. I'm wondering if there's a special tool needed.
Removal of Trunk Core Cylinder
- Thread starter edb
- Start date
I believe it is just screwed into the pot metal angled portion on the inside of the trunk. Try to unscrew it from the outside, use a rubber glove.
Cannot remember how I did it so there probably weren't any difficulties. A "threaded ring" usually holds everything from the inside. Is it possible age, corrosion or similar hold the core in place? The WD-40 can in the first picture might help, maybe in combination with a hot air fan.
There’s also a gasket needed when you reassemble

The dark grey substance that did not belong there anyway? So it was neither age nor corrosion but corrosion protective. Is it possible someone tried to stop water getting past the lock into the boot? The seal @Keshav mentions is really necessary. Last season we had that on a friend's E3. The seal was missing, the car at the shop, heavy rain during the night. Cannot remember why I opened the bootlid but ended up wiping some water from the boot floor and blowing lots of it out the inside of the bootlid.
