does anyone know how to remove the key mechanism and trunk open switch in the trunk?

I suppose you can use a screw driver to remove it but the questions is what are you going to cover up the hole with?

I am installing the seibon csl trunk. I am stuck at those pieces. For the trunk switch, it doesn't seem to be screwed down, I didn't want to try to force it out. As for the keyhole, I just couldn't figure out where the tabs were and or which way yo push them. Just concerned with breaking stuff

I figured it out! Wasn't too hard at all. I'll be writing this up in another thread.

So you got the trunk...Nice.

Bump, how is this done? I notice the keyhole has two slots that a flathead can go into and I can feel something push in there. But it doesn't really make it come out. How about the handle and the 2 lights?
