Boot won't open!

Help lol. Can't get my boot to open, It doesn't seem to want to unlock and it's chosen a pretty inconvenient time so help ASAP would be great lol. Thanks on advance

Is the key on the lock not working either then?

Sounds like something may have come off. You will need to get the boot trim off (by getting into the boot through the back seats) and check out what's going on.

Ha I used the key under the badge (That I didn't know was there till like my 50th attempt of pressing the buttons on the drivers door...) And that unlocked it and it works as it should now but maybe that article will be good in future if today was the start of a slippery slope. Thanks

As above really. Read through my guide.

Whats happened is the grease (or little that Seat has applied) has dried out causing the black plastic square catch to get stuck up and lose contact with the handle.

Lubricating it will get it working. As you will read it may come back again esp if you dont use the boot very much. I got desperate and made a small round hole so i dont need to remove the boot panel just to open it

Finally if you have a go at this in the current freezing weather take extra care as the already fragile panel clips will be likley to snap

Best of luck.

Thats a good bit of luck

It prob not the best job to take on in the very cold weather due to the clips snapping.
