yeah that one sucks

dont you need the key to lick the trunk... :lol:

Nope locks as soon as closed.

damn, wish I had that :( I am paranoid about having my trunk unlocked, i dont know why. Is that on the new aveos?

Has anyone have trouble with driver side door lock? from time to time it wont lock or open with the key on my 06 AVEO5 .

The only problem I had with my driver's side lock is this: It quit working from the outside. I could get it from the inside. I had to open the door panel and found a nut fell off the arm from the outside door lock. What a pain in the a$$. I had manual locks in a 2006 SVP Hatch.

I prefer manual locks, which is why I am happy with my 06 SVP.

SVP Rules!

Well said man! Ha who needs power windows and locks, all they do is **** up.

Is there a way to get rid of this safety lock? would much prefer to lock the car from the inside then close it. Its a pain in the butt with two kids to have to still have the keys in your hand once you are outside the car.

I lock it that way in my 09?

Yeah, it's not that big of deal but I don't like not having a hand on my 2 year old in a walmart parking lot and I figured if it is as easy as two screws or something I would do it.

I believe there is a how to on this. All you have to do is cut a little piece of the mecanism... IIRC.

no i meant, i lock the door with the plunger and close it.

Sorry Rabbit, I miss understood. So what you are saying is I need to buy an 09? Yeah, the wife will love me for that!;)

I did a search for the how to, but didn't come up with anything. I guess I'll suffer until the weather gets warm enough to yank the door panel.

or just buy an 09 lock assembly. unless i broke mine.

Wanna break mine too?
