Rear boot lid help

[Jordank11]

So I just tried to replace my rear lights and the boot lid is stuck shut! Any one else had this problem or know how to solve it?

Hi do you mean your key will not open it if so you can access the lock from the inside through the access panel on the inside of the boot lid and try and free the lock mechanism? B-)

Cheers for the reply And yes Iv tried everything the mechnisom it self is unlocked but the boot will not open sadly

Get in side it and give it a boot, While holding the lock in the open position, be careful of that glass though, If that don't work then good luck

Could be the boot door is out of alignment with the chassis body or when you changed the rear light clusters did the sealant overspill and you inadvertently stuck the boot lid door closed? :-S

When you are inside the back panel, unhitch the wire rod from the mechanism, but not at the catch end, that gives you more movement against the lock - should free it enough to push open.

Both my K11s have done this in the past - from outside, push the boot lid closed as hard as you can - you should hear a click, then you can open with the key.
