Does anyone has a drawing or a picture of the trunk lock.
The Cadillac Emblem that flips up and give you access to the lock came off and it is not readily apparent how it reattaches.

It's held on by  a spring.  The spring probably rotted away, and that's why the emblem fell off.

There is no reference to it in the workshop manual.

On a second note I found a similar set up on a junk 75 that also had a broken spring and I saw how it works.
Does any have any sources for those springs or the mechanism ?
