Allright.. Check it out..

I've managed to sandwich my keys between the hatch and the body of the car.
I can see the keys, they are next to the top of the the hatch shocks (0r wtevr) about the rear passenger corner.

The only way I can think of opening the trunk is the switch-which doesnt work.
It used to work, then worked on and off for a time-then stopped working altogether.

I've read other stories about this individ. who had the same problem with his hatch switch as i do, but could'nt open his trunk by key so entire locking mech needed replacing.

Which isnt the story on my dC2-I can open it with my keys-problem is.. there a "key sandwich" @ the moment.

Ideas and 'opinions' welcome!

God Bless!

i would take the 4 digit number on one of your door locks cylinder and take that number to a locksmith. that should be able to cut you a new key. that is if you are not locked out of your car.

good luck..

LOL @ the Genie comment. You're pretty much SOL without a spare key.
Can you get a wire into the hatch and pull the key out?
Isn't there a release in the trunk to let you out if you are stuck in there, or is that only sedans? Flip your seats down, crawl in there and check it out.
If you're locked out of the car, call a locksmith. They will have your door open in seconds.
Once you get it fixed, have a spare key cut.

That blows dude. I'm guessing all the doors are locked too?

Yes, I can still get into my car. So I just take the door panel off and check the last for and go to lock smith @ you said?

once you have the door panel off you should be able to access the door lock. you may have to remove this lock cylinder to see the 4 digit code engraved in it. give this 4 digit code to the locksmith and they can make you a new key.

Go to the dealership and give them your vin # and registration (Pretty sure that's all you need), it's only like $30+ for a new key from Acura.
