Rockers are the only other area I've seen people posting about.

These cars have been around for 4 Canadian winters now. Shouldn't really be seeing anything major yet. The key will be finding out...

Any more news on this, caspiansea?

Howie to the rescue with an exploded diagram!

Given the amount of corrosion on the latch mechanism, I wonder if the lock itself was even seized.

Easy enough to tell if you disconnect...

What's the corrosion warranty of the Micra? Maybe it would cover this?

Thanks for posting those pics, caspiansea. This will help other owners.

Well, if you're out of warranty and at your wits end, I'd say this is the type of job for a local independent garage.

Aha, OK.

Did your liquid wrench have one of those little straws so you could insert it directly into the keyhole?

I just went through this with a seized hatchback lock on the 12 year old Echo...

There is on the base S.

I'm confused. Which part is broken?

- latch (handle that opens the hatch)
- lock
- key

Did your key break in the hatchback lock? Or is the lock itself seized/frozen?
