Removing trunk lock
2005 Elantra 4-door
The previous owner rekeyed the trunk lock, but there's no key, and I can open it only with the latch on the driver's side floor. I want to rekey it for my ignition key. How do I remove the lock?

One key for both is my preference, but I'm open to a new lock. The cylinder is removable, so I'll talk to my locksmith and compare prices. Thanks, guys.

If it is a lock cylinder there may be a nut near the trunk wall
Look at lock from outside.
The cylinder could be threaded and a nut threaded on to hold it against the trunk hood
OR
Sometimes there is trim or a panel that must be removed to access the trunk lock
Once removed then you should be able to see the inside of the lock
Three nuts should be holding the lock in place. Remove with socket set
Lock should come out
Check out youtube
They might have a video with your car???
