Rear hatch lock question:

Normy,
It sounds as if the tab that orients the tumbler to the rear hatch part has broken. I do believe that it will come apart and you can replace the outer part of the tumbler and just swap the inner part to the new outer. I will attempt to verify this for you later today.

If the male part on the upper latch is cracked around the base you will need to replace it and the none alarm with random key is the best way to go.
Look on the UK 928 forum if you need to replace the lock part as they have a great write up on how to do it.
Complete upper and lower assembly, lower insert, upper latch, pin and spring - we stock them all.

Thanx John!

I pulled the hatch lock cylinder assembly in the driveway about a week ago, looked at it, and decided since dinner was being cooked by the ultimate home appliance, that it wasn't the best time to pull the inner workings of this part apart. I need to do this, but work right now is HECTIC! My schedule sucks, the electric hatch opener works fine.

[You people keep shipping things overnight; When you do this, I get sent to work. Dammit.....THANK YOU! Hah hah!]

When I get a chance, I'm going to pull the part again and drive out the drift pins and take the lock apart. I've done it three times so far [both doors and the hatch], so I'm getting good at it!

[is that something to be proud of-?]

Anyway, thanx for the help.
