Default How to open backseat arm rest storage, no key

Does anybody know how to open so why the rear arm rest storage if it's a lock that evidently doesn't match my key?

What?? You didn't learn lock-picking at recess in high school?

I thought that skill was required to graduate high school ?

Have you looked up the Lock Picking Lawyer on YouTube? That guy makes it look easy. Maybe he's local to you.

Good luck

It is easy to do with a piece of thin wire inserted near the back through to each side and slid forward to trip the lock

I don't think there are many combinations for the rear storage. I have found keys from different years/cars will fit other cars/years.

If you know some 928 owners in town, you might try theirs.
