81 firebird trunk

somewhere along the line of this car somebody lost the keys. Door and ignition. I already got the ignition squared away but the trunk is a whole nother story. How do i open the trunk without the key? Someone told me something about pushing a lever from the inside or something? I don't know, I have the interior out but i can't figure it out. Someone please help.

Check your local locksmith. They have codes from the car that they can use to make you the keys that came with the car

Re: 81 firebird trunk

There may be a "button" in the glove box, to open the trunk. Many of the 2nd gen 'birds were so equipped. Your battery will need to be connected. It's a yellow button, top/left (IRRC).

Re: 81 firebird trunk

A locksmith can make a new key if you bring a lock cylinder to him. Like most GM cars, the doors, and glove box both share the same key with the trunk. So if you can pop out a door or glovebox cylinder, you should be able to have a key made that will unlock the trunk.
