The Trunk on my 1990 LS400 cannot be opened by inside release by the key. I've been to a locksmith who seemed confused as well as dealer who referred me to a body shop. It appears that the locking bar is permanently shut. If anyone has had experience or can give advice, it would be appreciated.
Can't Get Trunk Open! Help!

Thank you all for post, but the Master Key idea will not work - I've tried it. The next option, according to Lexus, is to drill out the trunk lock by a body shop. Or, go in through the back seat and drill a hole in the metal wall, try to access the bar that is "stuck" in the lock position, and see if that doesn't work.
I have called several Lexus dealers now, and they've made these recommendations. I was just hoping that someone had actually done it, and, if so, could say which method they used.
