That and he wanted to show car thieves what tools and how to, break into a car. Definitely buying myself these pliers as well.
my grandfather used to have these plier type tools with an aligator clip type jaws on the front, about the same size as a small alligator clip with a trigger grip for your hands with a long neck about 12 inches long. He had two of them and I made their jaws fight each other in his workshop. Basically for grabbing things through small holes, I have no idea what theyre called and ive never seen one for sale in any tool section or shop ive ever been to. i dont even know what to google, small hand actuated grabber jaw thing? lol
@@paddington1670 try surgical supply
That's a double jointed needle nose plier by crescent I think. You can also find them with 2X double joint, straight and 90 degree bent tip about 12" long. Great reach!
I think a simple hook or something would do the trick also.
I work as a General Manager in the automotive industry for over 12 years now. I know Mercedes well. There is a key hole underneath, put the key in and turn hard, then push. It overrides the lock and your in. Also behind the seats there is also an emergency pull handle. I have never seen this done before in all the years I’ve been in the automotive industry which is over 21 years now lol.

@@TheBanjoShowOfficial there’s still multiple ways in without ruining a panel
You can see it right there in the video. My car has a hidden one behind a plastic piece on the door handle. Most cars have some sort of key hole. Even if they lost the fob with the built-in key a good lock pick could do it I'm sure.
There are literally at least 5 other ways to get in, without this step.
Yep....knowledge is power my friend
My first though was remove the seat 🤣🤣
And they're all very time intensive and cost more for the client
On some vehicles it's not, kia rios require you to smash the tail light out to access the inside trunk release.

Yup, can't figure out why he needed to drill this hole. Thought maybe the lock mechanism was broke but it opened pretty easy with pliers.
“EhOhyeaH!” TF 💀
I make the same moans when I'm drilling holes xD
The "hidden" key lock is 6 inches above where he is drilling. This lock is there so the trunk can be opened in case of a mechanism malfunction. I'll be surprised if it was also not functioning.
Some old e classes have folding seats and some don’t. Worst case scenario, customer locked key in trunk, batteries are completely dead or someone disconnected battery and closed the trunk on it. Usually all end up drilling the same hole to access the trunk latch, in my case i closed the trunk while battery is disconnected and didn’t have the metal key to unlock it….connected 12v to alternator and was able to power vehicle and open trunk.
I love how almost every manufacturer is going this. My friend had to drill a hole in his e90 because the trunk got shut and battery was disconnected. Same thing with another friends challenger!
You can actually get in through the back seats, even if they don't fold down, but you will need a small skinny person to fit through while people pull the seat back
@@junaidahmed9412 Gotta train my cat to do it then, I won’t ever fit.
@@junaidahmed9412 you can get through the back seats on the e90 but not the e92 without the ski passthrough. Sucks for e92 owners!
I have one but mine has the key hole. Don’t they all? This Mercedes also has one. The new cars usually all electric but the E90 has the keyhole on the trunk. It’s hard but when you turn it all the way it opens. Unless you locked the keys inside the car then that’s another issue 🤣 or keys in the trunk then locked it
I did the same thing with my e90 except there is a keyhole on the trunk with a mechanical lock. So you don’t need to drill a hole you just need a couple extra brain cells.
“Yep. There it is”
It f*cking better be cuz you better not drill another hole 💀

Dear Jamie; I have a 1986 Mercedes 190D and my trunk just stopped opening one day. I've tried using the key and locking / unlocking it manually. Nothing will make it open.
Mine is originally from Europe and therefore has a different spacing for the License plate bolts. But it looks like slightly below the centre of the bolts and maybe 1.5" to the left. I am a certified mechanic and have been trying to figure out how to do this for years! Please let me know 🙏

For non Mercedes owners basically there was a gen of Mercedes where the battery was in the trunk. So if Ur battery was dead and u had to replace it, u either get someone to connect jump start cables to the car for u just so that u can open the trunk and get Ur old battery out. In other instances Ur trunk fuse could have been blown (a real bummer there) and that's where u need to drill a hole through the trunk..
Mercedes should change their logo to a middle finder, because that's how they feel about their customers.

To everyone claiming what this person did was unnecessary, you’re very likely incorrect. If you know anything about Mercedes, you’d know that there is no access to the trunk through the rear seat back in this model. Pulling out the rear shelf won’t grant you access either. You’d also know that if the pneumatic system fails and the tumbler is seized or otherwise inoperable, this is the least destructive and fastest way in. These pneumatic systems are not the most reliable and are very prone to aging and therefore will eventually fail even if they’re never used at all. Since these are all old and only getting older and they’re very costly to repair, plus replacement parts are being phased out, most owners don’t pay to fix them. That’s fine so long as the tumbler works but once it fails or, the key blade is lost and can’t be replaced for some reason this is the only way in. Because the tumblers back there are only meant as an emergency back up and not the primary means of getting into the trunk, they’re not designed to be used constantly and will very often fail. It’s quite common for people unfamiliar with Mercedes to try and repair pneumatic issues such as this and usually wind up making the problem much worse. The linkage that connects the tumbler to the emergency release restricts access to the main latch. Because of this people often disconnect the linkage, forget to reconnect it, realize they can’t fix the pneumatic system themselves and then close the trunk and take it to a shop. This exact scenario has played out countless times and results in what you see in this video. Other model Mercedes have different construction and trunk latch systems so you can’t compare another model to this one.
I can assure you there is another way to open the trunk if it is 2000-2007
You take off the part that the little light are in on the back of the trunk me and my father did it in a circle k parking lot with minimal tools
@@wildtimes6904 On this model that part is bolted in from the inside of the trunk so you won’t be removing that without destroying it. Also this model was not made for the entire year range you just mentioned. Your thinking of a different model.
So pulling the rear seat or the tail light won’t get you access to the saftey release handle?
@@2strokeboys191 Nope. Without the ski bag option, which was extremely rare in the USA, there is no access to the trunk from inside the vehicle. Even if it did have the ski bag, you’d have to destroy the bag which is probably irreplaceable now and extremely expensive if it is still available. And once you’ve destroyed the exceedingly rare bag, you’ve now got to destroy further interior trim pieces as well as actual structural metal in the trunk lid to gain access to the latch. The seats do not fold down and even if you remove them there is no access to the trunk behind them. Just solid metal unibody and wiring conduit. Removing the rear shelf trim won’t get you anywhere either. To get access to the trunk through the rear shelf, you’ve got to remove the roof lining of the trunk, which requires access to the trunk. Then you’ve got to remove the speakers from the rear shelf which bolt in from the bottom inside the trunk.
Just to humor all the doubters out there, let’s pretend that you did decide to cut through the unibody behind the seats or rear shelf, exactly what is it you expect to see or be able to do once you’ve made a hole? The entire trunk is lined with trim and covers blocking further access to anything. So now that you’ve cut your way through the unibody, you’ve now got to cut through the interior liners and carpeting. Let’s say you continue this fools errand and cut through the interior liners, I mean you’ve already destroyed part of the unibody so what’s some interior trim right? Great you’ve now got access to the inside of the trunk. So I ask again, what is it that you expect to be able to do from this point? This vehicle predates the requirements for an emergency release handle or button and the latch mechanism is covered by yet more trim and actual structural metal parts of the trunk lid. So now you’ve spent a ton of time and energy removing the rear seats and or shelf, you’ve cut through the unibody, you’ve cut through interior trim in the trunk, and if your main goal is to open the trunk, well you haven’t done that yet. This vehicle is a full size 4 door sedan. Because of this the trunk is very large and the area of the trunk lid where the latch sits is going to be too far away to access by reaching through the hole you’ve made regardless of where you’ve made it. I also don’t know of any cutters with enough reach to allow you to reach the area of the trunk lid where the latch resides. Remember it’s still covered by trim and metal that needs to be cut away first. So do you continue to cut away the unibody so that you can fit part of you’re body inside the trunk? I’m much taller then the average man and I know I cannot reach that area from the rear shelf let alone the seat backs so it’s extremely unlikely anyone else would be able to as well. Undeterred you press on, enlarging the hole such that you can fit the upper part of your body into the trunk so you can reach the area of the lid where the latch resides. You’ve come this far so why stop now. You cut through yet more interior trim pieces on the trunk lid and now, finally, you’ve got some access to the latch. However depending on what tools you’ve got you may need to cut away part of the metal skeleton of the trunk lid to actually open the latch. If for whatever reason you’ve now decided that the trunk lid trim and metal is a few cuts too far, you could cut open the plastic covering the striker and unbolt the striker to open the trunk. All of this can be avoided by drilling a single hole in a piece of plastic that can be easily repaired or replaced. Look I know how destructive and unnecessary this looks but I promise all the doubters out there that this is the fastest, easiest, cheapest, and least destructive way in. That panel is SMC so it will not rust, can be easily repaired, and even more easily replaced. Since it’s a minor exterior panel that is not complex they can be had from numerous aftermarket manufacturers or even junk yards. And despite what many people claim, it is not structural. Getting in through any other means whatsoever would require cutting or destroying much more expensive, rare, important, and possibly non repairable parts. This would be much harder, more time consuming, and expensive than necessary. The amount of time this took in the video is roughly accurate to the amount of time it takes in real life. Compared to any other amount of much more destructive work this is peanuts.
These videos are more useful for criminals rather than owners

3rd week as a Mercedes shop apprentice, had to do this on one car almost on a second 😂
Nearly had to do this on my e46. Locked my only key in the trunk. Locksmith fished out my key through a 2 inch or so diameter hole in my back seat and I was totally amazed
I’ve hired locksmiths that used a feeler gauge to determine the key type then cut it verified the key then programmed it all off the door itself took about an hour we’re talking ignition keys your trunk only uses like 3 of the pins
125 for the service what’s your time worth
Why are you drilling a hole?!
Find the wiring that goes to the latch from the BCM or such and power the actuator with a 12V source. I've done this on a few Audi's.
Doesn’t work that way. These are penumatic.
Don't listen to this guy. On Mercedes you just supply power to the alternator from under the car airbag the door and use a reach tool to pop the trunk.
@@gregorylenzo1923 you are both wrong. The battery isn’t dead on this car. The central locking is all pneumatic and the pump for it is dead.

My Mercedes had the same problem... Didnt moan😩 when I did it though.
Get rid of it and get a Lexus next time lol.

@@chrispy9913 No thanks, a friend of mine bought one 4-5 years old and he says he would not buy another piece if crap Bmw.
@@SacreDro your friend must not know how 2 turn a wrench huh
@@SacreDro can’t tell if your a German car shit talker or an Audi fanboy🤣

Dealership:.. sooo it's a totally of 31,333 dollars 🤣🤣🤣
Nice pliers. What's the model number on those bad boys? Ps, I knew it was a Merc as soon as I saw the vin plate
Assuming it’s because of a disconnected battery, you can just attach a jump box under the hood to the jump points and have it on long enough to pop the trunk. Of course you have to hope the leads in the trunk aren’t touching anything
When trunk opens i can se the dom light so she got power😊
Bro your trunk should come with a key especially if it’s a Benz or bmw or Audi or anything that relies on battery charge
My s500 trunk used vacuum to release the trunk. A gasket on the latch mechanism fails
You can see a keyhole on the trunk lid when he opens it. Not sure why drilling was needes
@@---ny4ys The description mentioned the key mechanism was not working and that the rear seats don't fold down. He says the hole is plugged and can't even be seen because it's behind the license plate.
You can also pop out the plate lights and there should be a wire that you can push and it’ll open as well
Here I am staring at the keyhole wondering what it’s for.
Thats what I was thinking. Could he have not just used the key? Any chance he just didn't see the key hole?
@@MrFishing2001 it doesn't unlock if the battery is dead
@@thetau4866 I have used them on vehicles with no battery fitted.
Ford, merc, bmw, many times.
@Sp8kyMuhG8ky hehehe you poor thing, what are the first four letters in Mercedes
@Sp8kyMuhG8ky I also own a 2008 Mercedes C300 and when the battery has died I can use the key to open the front door and trunk, no problem.
every tech knows the smile after that moan.
You can drill a hole to access the trunk just those scratch the paint or the fine finish cuz it will diminish the value
The moans got me cracking up
Can I get a "aaahhhhyeah"
"ooooOOOOeiyaaAaa",😩😫
The “oh yeaaah” is mad sus
To me, it sounds like you are using a Milwaukee M12 combi drill... If so, I know that I work too much 😂
Bup is top level 😂
watching these videos you start to hear your grandpa say "you can't work on that foreign junk" and i'm starting to think he's right
Well it’s apparent that the owner lost his key because you can clearly see a mechanical keyhole like on all Mercedes, I’m guessing he lost the key and the battery died, this would have to be done on modern American cars aswell.
Mercedes-Benz is junk?
@@lorenz3021everyone has a different opinion but all I kno is the ones made in Germany are 1000% better .
@@DiscoMiata Key wasn't lost. The tumbler and link for the boot latch was seized, so this is the fastest and cost effective method unfortunately.
@@nzuncovered1845 is that why there is access to the trunk via the back seats? Where you could crawl in and pull the emergency release
