<VV> Front Trunk Lock

[Marc Sheridan]

Sit on the lid near the lock, then bounce your body weight while turning
the key. Make sure you have another key to be prepared if you break the key.

Once you get it open and adjust the latch without the lock so you can open
it with a screw driver.

Good luck!
