I searched the forum and saw the mod pictures but there were no tips as to what lock fits in the rear hatch...any ideas?

I have a camera that fits perfect in mine.. You dont need welding or cutting what so ever. This will take about 10min tops to install not including wiring ( just mounting).
First take off bolt holdong your wiper on in the outside of scion. Then open hatch and pull of carpet cover on inside of hatch. Once you pull that off you will see the wiper motor and If I remember right there is four bolt you have to undo. Pull out motor and screw in camera, it is that easy..It fits perfect with no leaking or shimming. If anything put this in until you get camera.. It cost around $45 to $50 shipped

THIS IS THE EBAY PERSON I BOUGHT IT FROM (EXACT CAMERA) VERY FAST SHIPPING AND GREAT EBAYER!

I'd like to know what lock fits as well...

That camera is sweet! But if I buy that, it'll temp me to end up getting a $1200 navi system to go with it. :nails:

1. The "Before" shot.
2. Layout of parts to go in (ebay camera).
3. Remove the nut holding on the wiper arm.
4. Wiper arm was too stubborn for me, so I used a puller (valve spring compressor) to lift on the bottom of the wiper while a long nut held pressure on the bolt that comes up from the wiper motor..Came right off!
5. Removed all the clips that were holding the cover on..Don’t forget the center one!
6. Shot of the hatch sans cover..Motor is next to go.
7. Remove the wiring by unclipping it, and just take off the 3 larger bolta that hold the motor in place. (Make sure you are putting all the hardware in a bag.)
8. I trimmed the center out of the factory rubber grommet so I could reuse it with an razor blade, the lens didn't have a gasket and I was worried about it leaking..
9. I unscrewed the lens cover and inserted it in the grommet using some window cleaner to lube up the rubber so it slid in.
10. Screwed the camera portion back into the cover from the inside of the hatch.
10a.Zip-ty'd the wiring up as I am not using the camera, just needed to fill the hole, and replaced the hatch cover by snapping all the clips back in.
11. Finished product!

So nobody knows where this lock came from? Part number??

I went to Kragen, Pep-Boys, and Auto Zone. I didn't find any "universal trunk lock"

I'm rockin' the fake back-up cam (reversed wiper rubber) right now, but I want the lock!!

Anybody??? :question:

Just ordered my camera. Thanks for the tip.

As far as the lock goes, is it just for looks or will it actually lock/unlock the rear hatch?

Looks like any ordinary lock otherwise. Looks like locks on my old Chevys.

Lock is just for looks, I was going to hit up pick and pull to find somthing...camera just seemed easier at the moment!
