The tailgate latch of my 2008 Passat TDI Wagon failed this morning. Now I can't open the trunk door. How can I open it manually from the inside? Thanks.

Not uncommon it seems Is there a bit on the inner panel that gives access Search on the subject Has been a few threads on it failing and saving up for a new latch

Climbed inside the trunk and opened up the plastic mount where the emergency triangle supposed to sit. That gives access to a hole where I could put my finger through to reach the lever that unlocks the latch manually.
Turn out to be bad contact. Pull out and push the plug back in. Hope it won't happen again.
