I have read a few old threads regarding the rear lock mechanism in a '98-'00 v70. My XC had a broken rear window, and the bits of glass seem to have dropped into the lock. I was able to remove the rear hatch trim without too much trama and get access to the locking mechanism. I cannot say this for any of my old 740's, however. In any event, the lock would still not release from the car, and I removed the torx holding the strike plate and was able to open the hatch. However, while I was able get some of the glass from the lock, it will still not release the strike plate.

Thoughts?
