I am not a tree expert. You didn't describe the holes but the mention of holes reminded me of a report about a new breed of hitmen in Australia where many trees mask expensive views from seafront properties.
The owners would like to remove the trees but the authorities have put protection orders on those trees that promise heavy penalties for anyone tampering with them.

The situation has produced the professional tree destroyer; a guy with a cordless drill and bottles of poison who gets big money for his services.

I suggest you contact a tree surgeon (arborist) for an opinion but watch out for cowboys and charlatans as there are as many in that trade as any other.

SOURCE: how to install rear bumperr

there are two ten mm bolts that hold up the two corners of the bumper followed by a dozen or so push pin type plastic clips remove the two tens and pull the centers out of all the plastic clips and remove the lower halves, the bumper then has a plastic bracket on each side that if pulled straight back will slide right off, as for the sheet metal reapir you can either buy a cheap bodymans slide hammer and drill and pull where it needs or if there is damage to the bumper rebar ( metal bar under cover) you can get a ratcheting "come along" and set the ebrake and chain the other end to a tree, and pull it that way .sounds like you may even be able to use a big sledge hammer and knock the trunck back out also -jeff

SOURCE: Trunk stuck on a 03 Corolla

I was able to unlock my trunk by using a wood pole to operate the interior safety unlock handle, which is located just above the trunk floor, against the rear of the trunk lid. You simply insert the wood pole between your rear seats, while attempting to locate the handle release. When you find the handle, use the wood pole to push down on it.

Then, I had to take the top of the truck mat loose by using a flat head screwdriver to pry the plastic plug holders loose from the trunk. I also had to use a 10mm socket to loosen the trunk locking mechanism. Once inside, I notice the remote release cable ball had dislodged from its slot. I simply placed the ball in its slot and reassembled the trunk.

Problem solve. :)

SOURCE: '91 LS400, trunk will not

If you hear the sound of the electric latch switch, then it's working but stuck somehow. Just put the key in the switch and turn it to the right and then pull up the trunk or ask someone to help you. it will open. I tried it today and it opened with me. It was stuck from inside by some kind of a broken plastic pieces. Just removed it and now it's working fine. good luck

I have a 15-20 ft. pine tree. We recently trimmed alot off the bottom of it and now the healthy branches on the tree are turning brown. Is my tree dying?

Pine trees seal themselves with sap fairly quick so you don't have to worry. If the needles are turning yellow and dropping it could be experiencing some shock or it may just be dropping needles for the fall.
If the needles are actually turning brown, check the trunk and branches for signs of boring insect damage such as hole with sap coming out.

Water In My Trunk

Hi Gregory:
2 issues:
1) water getting in
2)Water not getting out.

1) Water is not supposed to get in so you need to track down the leak. Check rubber around trunk lid, rear window seal.
2) Trunk is not intended to contain water, even on a temporary basis, so drain holes are not normally installed.

Fix the leak and you won't need to have drain holes.

Trunk volvo S80 2007 won't open

It's weird. I have a S60 ; the key hole is vertical (look up when looking from the bumper up to the truck) above the license plate. It's sort of hidden so you cannot see it if you are looking at the truck from the front. The truck can also be opened with your key fob.

Trunk ajar alarm sounding constantly, even though trunk seems to be closed properly.

the sensor is part of the latch so that will have to be replaced to fix it. Although water has been known to seep into the latch through the key hole (bad gasket) and fixes itself when it drys out.

Excess moisture causing mold to grow

The moisture in the trunk is coming through into the car with air movement, since the trunk is not air tight to the car interior.

Let's do the trunk first.
Remove the spare tire and carpet and all else in the trunk and dry it out. I would used small space heater or a blow dryer or anything else that will heat and dry the air. If you want to fix the water leak, you will need to find out where it coming from.
The most common place is the gasket around the trunk lid.
After that, a rust hole somewhere in the trunk.
You may find a new gasket hard to find, and if you do, not easy to replace as well.
Finding a rust hole might require you to take a strong light and have a helper to look either inside when you have the light outside, or outside when you have the light inside the trunk, (night works best).
On older cars, I have often made a permanent hole in the lowest part of the trunk to drain out water leaks.
Make a hole about 1/2" diameter of more, so it won't plug up. There are sometimes rubber or plastic plugs you can remove to drain the trunk as well.
Make it so stuff you replace into the trunk will not cover that hole. Carpet holds water, so you may choose to put a new piece of something in there, or nothing.
Read the instructions below on usuing "Damp-Rid" plastic buckets in your trunk.

Now lets go inside the car.
I recommend you dry out the inside with a space heater or blow dryer as well, for a day or a few days.
Then,
Lumber yards and hardware stores and such places sell a small bucket of stuff called "Damp Rid"" This is plastic tub full of white crystals that absorb water out of the air. Put one or two of these in your car on the floor of the back seat and maybe the passenger's front seat. Follow instruction on the container, and they will remove moisture from inside your car.
NOTE: You must be careful because they work with the top open, and therefore will spill accumulated water when you start and move the car, they'll tip over. If you put them in the trunk, don't forget them there.

I have a 1998 Nissan Altima. Lately, some animal has ripped holes into the fabric back seat and gotten into the car. I think it must be coming in under the car but I don't know how. How can I stop this...

Be careful... the rodent may be "nesting" in the trunk (seriously).

One access hole (supposed to be plugged) is in the trunk, under the spare tire. Look in the lowest part of the trunk, there is a hole with maybe the cover loose. The hole is approximately the size of a dollar bill folded in half. It is a "drain" plug if the trunk gets water in it.

If not there, then it may be under the back seat ... again, use caution when you remove the back seat.

Look for signs of its nest. Use a rodent repellent, not a poison... you don't want it to die in an inaccessible place in your car. It will be a real stinkeroooo.

Hope this helps!

The trunk in my 97 328i will not open. on top of that when I press the knob on the trunk in hopes of it opening all of the doors lock immediately. is this problem common and can I fix this myself . It...

hello scott, there is only one solution that I know of for accessing the trunk when the release rod has become detached. if you remove your license plate you will see 4 holes behind it where the plate mounts to. if you draw a line between the bottem left hole and the upper right hole and drill a 3/8 hole in the middle of that line, you should be able to see the release rod.using a thin pair of pliers, grab the rod and either push or pull. then trunk will release. I have done this many times at the dealership with great success. this is the only way I know how to get in. you may want to contact your local dealer and see what they recommend. make sure to use a plug to put in the hole if you deside to drill, otherwise it can leak. you will also need to purchase a trunk latch assembly to replace yours.
