Align the rear compartment lid key cylinder to the opening by slightly bending the key cylinder mounting area.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use too much force in bending the key cylinder mounting area.

IMPORTANT:
Use a flat-nosed starting punch wrapped with vinyl (electrical) tape to avoid damaging the ELPO (corrosion) coating.
