Default problem with trunk!

ok so heres the problem i put the key into the trunk and turn and its SUPPOSED to pop up but it doesnt. it just turns as if there isnt a mechanism at all that opens it up. i got a del sol s so it doesnt come with the lever in the driver side so what am i supposed to do? i cant get my books and do my homework!!!

there is no lever on the driver side?
mine does have a lever on the driver side though...

may be just turn your key and use your hand to pull it? since mine won't pop up by itself either since the spoiler is too heavy

They only put the trunk pops in the 95+ del sols? You must have a 93-94! Will it pop if you push up on it while turning the key?

there should be two little rubber bump stops in the back. all i did was back them out a bit until it did what it was supposed to do. dont back them out too much or youll get a gap.

when u pop the trunk they will be in the two corners (on the trunk) just turn with your hand and close and check. keep adjusting as neccesary. and yes 93 did not have an interior switch. u have to use your key.

the problem is when i turn the key the trunk doesnt pop up at all. i think the mechanism is broken is there a way to get inside without using a key?

hmm well thats a diff story all by itself. first of all im assuming its the right key and has worked before right? as far as getting into it u might be better off taking it down to honda and let them mess with it. i dont think u can remove the center window to gain access but i've never tried either. good luck man.

Well I highly doubt any dealership will diagnose a problem for free.
