Well Crap :-)

It isn’t common for these to break but with that said, any man made item will sooner or later fail because man made it. Everything has a service life.
(I’m hoping mine is 90 years or better! LOL!)

I use the hide a key metal box with a magnet.

Hey.
The B body project we got a few years ago had no trunk key.
But it did have a fold down rear.
I cut a hole in the plywood and slithered into the trunk.
My daily has that fold down plywood too.
So, aside from getting large items in it, there is another possible benefit.
