bumpity bump.....looking as to how you snap lock these fittings apart/together - anyone know?
the yellow hose has the standard grey nipple - but the latch has a white shroud of some sorts...??
ok...with a bit of jiggling I managed to get it locked in - but there's a lot of hissing when I actuate via the key fob and the actuator doesnt move - so maybe the diaphragm is leaking...will need to remove and deconstruct to investigate.
Loctite Extreme Repair is my go to silicon sealant and adhesive. You can apply a bead around a leaking pneumatic hose junction, or probably repair a cracked diaphragm. I wipe the area clean with a paint preparatory solvent, and wipe that surface clean after it dries. I use a Qtip or white paper towel.
Well I've gotten myself into a real pickle now....The trunk/boot is locked and my factory key doesnt open it...the latch doesnt activate when I press the key...so she's locked+locked....
I went out to remove the latch to see if I could fix the leak and get it working - but she's locked....
any ideas?...I was wondering if you can access it half way through the roof retraction operation....???
l8tr...yes - managed to go half way through the roof retraction and access the latch to unlock it.
I managed to pull out the white diaphragm and linkage without removing the handle mechanism (that seemed to be a little harder)...found the main problem was the leak at the connection, but when I sucked on it without the connection the actuation was kinda sound...so I epoxied the connection up. I actually have a hose connected to it anyway because the yellow hose was missing from the car when I bought it - so future removal is still easy.
Setting overnight so will see in the morning. Will post pick if it works.
Alternate question - can you get these key barrels confirgured for your car...? probably costs a bomb - but curious just the same.
