    Problem with boot lock on my 2011 sedan, help needed!!!

    Hi guys,

    Just wondering if anyone can help me with the boot lock problem my superb developed today:

    Opened the boot today (with the glass) and when tried to lock it, realised that the lock is in close position, tried everything, closing/opening doors from remote, closing/opening boot from remote, closing/opening doors from inside... No result, the lock is still in "closed position" and can't close the boot...

    Any idea what to do and how to fix it myself? I guess I can always take it to the dealer on Monday, but was wondering if there any simple solution..

    Thanks a lot in advance.

    Try putting a bolt through the hole that the latch makes, (or allen key etc) sort of simulating the square loop on the body of the car.

    Then put some pressure on it while hitting unlock, this should pull it open.
