I'd like to disable the trunk release lever in this car, so that the trunk is only able to be unlocked with a key. Is this possible, and how do you do it? (I'd just prefer the trunk be inaccessible in case the car is broken into.)
Thanks!

When you lift the trunk lid /luggage door, you will see cables on the left side . One is a wire cable and the other is a release cable (like a bicycle brake cable). Follow that release cable that is connected to the trunk door lock assembly. Unscrew the trunk door lock assembly and unhook the cable.

The cable that you will follow is like the brake cable of a bicycle. Just unhook the end of it which is connected to the trunk door lock assembly.
