* Remove the trunk lid latch * Detach the lock release box from the latch assembly * To detach the lock cylinder from the trunk lid pry off the retainer
Drill out the rivet.

The trunk lock on a 1989 Chevrolet Caprice is replaced by removing the retaining clip and unscrewing the bolts holding it in place. The lock can then be pulled through the opening and a new lock put in place.
If it's the lock itself and not the latch, you might as well replace the lock.
Remove the rear seat and go into the trunk that way use a screwdriver to turn the lock from the inside...
Have you tried the trunk lock button inside of the glove box? Greg
