Boot stuck close?!?

[mjc85]

My boot has stuck itself closed. When i unlock my car (i have central locking) the boot won't open when i push the button in(you know the button on the boot to open it). Even when i stick my key in the boot button and jiggle it around it won't open. It has happened before but i just let a mechanic open it, not sure how he dd it and don't really want to pay to have it done when its probably simple.

Any ideas how to get this nasty boot open ? A whole bag of my clothes from a recent holiday are in there and i'm kind of running short on close lol.

Thanks
Mitch

Hope you have a ski-hole in the backseat

Unfortunately not, any other suggestions before i take to the boot with a crowbar ?

Yeah. Call a locksmith to unlock it for you. then have the locksmith figure out why it wont work. justa thought, I don't know if you wanna pay him.

It is probably cheaper than a new boot cover and pant though.

even if you dont have a ski hole you can just lift up the back seat cushion and then the ski hole is still there and you can get in that way.

You'll have to remove the cardboard and punch out the backing etc.

true but its cheaper then paint and a new boot.

Thats to complicated, i have an amplified screwed to there in the boot, so i will prob wreck my amp.

well is it locked or will it just not open when you push the button? i would just try raming the button it while pulling up on the "boot"

Try turning the key and lifting very easy on the door handle. This might work or it might not work. You will have to find the sweet spot and the door will come open! give it a try.

If you drill the lock out you can get in ;) ;)

Have you tried turning the trunk l;ock in different positions?
