Boot door lock
Posted: Tue Jun 20, 2017 4:48 pm
Long time no see.
I tried to open the boot on my series 2 V6 and got nothing. Muttering the magic words "Open Sesame" and "Abracadabra" had no effect. The release catch on the hatchback door seems to be disconnected from the lock mechanism.
Obviously I need to access the working parts from inside the hatchback door. Working in the boot space from inside the car, (not so easy when you're 84), I undid the screws along the bottom of the trim panel but could not see any other fastenings. The lower edge is now free but the upper part is immovable.
Any advice on how to remove the boot trim panel would be much appreciated.
