It really helps the first time to have good working visual knowledge of the 2002's trunk latch mechanism. This is where a friend with another 2002 can come in really handy, so you can compare angles of approach and get that first hand knowledge. 6) lastly fish the wire grommet back into position and re-install the license plate bracket and plate. Good Luck 1) Remove the license plate.
