I've had a search on here and people have had the same problem.

 

I have tried....

Lifting the lever it doesn't open.

Someone holds the lever up while I lift boot lid, it doesn't open.

Use the key, (only turns to the right not sure if this is normal) still wont open.

 

When I went to view the car the boot opened. LA Auto's had the boot open.

 

When reading about curing this problem, people have advised removing the trim to the boot. What are my options if I cant open the boot lid at all?

 

Thanks,

Ask Lee how he had the boot open :thumbup1:

Basically it won't open because there isn't enough force pushing on the latch so it won't click open.

 

Simple fix found was to get some extra rubber spacer like things to put slight pressure on the latch so that when you pull the lever it will open. You can check out jeffs actual words here:

(To note that moving the catch downwards didn't work for me)

 

I can get some pictures today if you want to see what I did

This is how I solved it with these 3mm thick rubber disks, won't be as net as getting new rubber feet, but I just fixed it free.

And these are the feet which I believe shrink so not a tight fit. (Could be wrong)

Cheers omg.

 

After I posted this thread I decide to take the car out for a run and noticed the door open light was on. I pulled over to find that my boot was open and lifted up with no resistance.

 

Ill have another look today.
