Rear hatch lock
My rear hatch won't lock and I torn into lubing or replacing the actuator. After looking things over, my hatch key lock looks bad. It won't turn with the key and look corroded. Does anyone know how to replace the lock?
Thanks

As i recall the lock - part # 434342 - is held in with a c-clip. Can be pulled from the inside with needle nose pliers. Take it to a locksmith who can fix it (clean?) or get you a replacement.

If you have some time, open up the plastic panel and work the linkage by hand a few times. Add some lube on the linkages and see if that free's up the movement. A lot of dust gets in there and may be binding the works. See link above to the unlocking mechanism diagram.
