Trunk broke...

Well, last night I finished building a box for my MT for some testing. This box is the biggest one yet. It is around 7 cubes NET, but external dimensions make the box out to be ~11.5 cubes.

Come to see after re-installing everything, and smashing my finger in my door which mad it turn black (see thread in the lounge), I find the next morning my trunk does not open.

I have a little lock hole that acts as a button to pop my back glass open (Isuzu Rodeo). Now the button just pushes all the way in and does nothing. I tried to get back there with a struggle (11 cube box in the way) to feel the lock and the rod that attaches it to whatever it goes to is just hanging. I don't know when/how it happened.

Now I am stuck trying to fix this with an 11 cube box in the way //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif . I can't open my back hatch at all. This is gonna be fun.

So I decide to build a box:

(1) new box which isn't much louder

(1) crushed finger (extremley painful)

(1) non-working trunk

Horray!
