trunk key hole

[ratskat]

I don't have a trunk key hole on my G6 - I understand I have a trunk release on my phob and on the drivers door a button to pop it open as well...but all the pics I see of other 6ers have key holes...now that must not just be a special option. Did they used to have the key hole as well as the power release trunk? Is this just an 07 thing? I am by far not complaining as I prefer not to have the keyhole but just curious...here is a pic of my 6's rear end to show.

Might be just a vert thing, I haven't seen enough vert pics to be sure. But every coupe and sedan I've seen regardless of year has it.

wow thats really wierd.

i dont think ive seen a car without one.

hmmm. ive used mine a few times, just to keep the hole in use

That may be a safety thing they are doing for the verts. Make it harder to get in the trunk, I've heard of that before. Don't know that much about it never owned a vert. You should talk to some of the other 6ers that have verts.

I WISH MY CAR WAS LIKE THAT!

None of the verts have trunk locks. lucky..

yeah.......

kind of sucks in one respect. I'd of liked to had my chrome handles cover my keyhole.... but without a way back in if the batt died, I'd be screwed. Oh well.....

but yeah. not an 07 thing, it's a G6 vert thing.

all in all, i'd rather not have the hole.

Reason is because couldn't trust owner not to try to pop their trunk with key when convertible top was in the middle of cycle which would goof everything up :P

^yeah I agree, also I wish I didn't have one-I'm planning on painting mine in a couple weeks

People who have it don't want one, people without it want one

[LoJac963]

^lol and so the story goes :smoke:

LOL well that isn't me - I dont have it and dont want it - I like the clean look of it and the pics Ive seen of it on others cars - its off center and that would bug me. I am wierd that way - bonus plus I dont have to do a mod to my car to remove it as I have read in other posts

Thanks for the answer everyone!

Sedans have it just below the arrowhead, which makes it less noticeable. Never did understand why they made it so prominently off-center on the coupe.

hey I know its off topic....but are the tail lights a little differant on the vert compaired to the coupes? I know the trunk is a little highter up or is it just the pic that makes the shape of the tails look differant?


thanks

There are minute shape differences, they are not interchangeable. If you look at a picture of the coupe, the coupe tails round the top corners a bit more.
