Re: trunk key hole cover
My thought would be to take off the entire unit (this may require you to drill out rivets that hold it on unless it was replaced at one point and its bolted on) Once you have it off, where the pivon point used to be, drill a hole all the way through. Then on the same place on the "door" part of the emblem droll a hold, but not all the way through. Add threads to the hole in the door part, and put a matching machine screw through the first hole and threat it into the back of the emblem. Make it tight enough where it sits nice, but loose enough that the latch can open. Use locktite to hold the screw in place if nessesary. Then get some bolts with lock washers and bolt that sucker back on using the same holes the rivets used.
