I have exactly the same problem on my 6 month old Karoq , like you i cant make it happen on demand

Thanks for the replies thats settled my mind

I have just taken delivery of a Pre reg 1.5 SE L , my query concerns the manual folder , on all my previous Skodas its been full of sub booklets concerning servicing , breakdown , warranty etc etc , this one has the manual only . Have any of you who have purchased a new car been given anything different . I do know that servicing is now online so i was not expesting a service manual .

Here is some feedback , car went into garage and they did have to make a hole in the trim to access the fastenings , there is no manual release system fitted . Top and bottom mechanisms were removed placed in a vice and levered apart , the problem was due to the connection between motor and lock mechanism being broken , motor was working but not moving anything . Fortunately parts not expensive the job cost me £143 but thats without the cost of a new rear trim panel , i am guessing that will be in 3 figures . Very much Mickey Mouse design from Skoda , how to make a simple job into a difficult and expensive one , definately not impressed .

I drilled a hole roughly where its shown on undertheradars car but cant see a release lever , took it down to a local garage they also checked it out and couldnt find a release so its booked in for them to sort , they did warn that they may have to wreck the trim to get at it , great design Skoda !!!! . My car is a 2015 Superb SE Business , you may want to check your own car and make provision before it happens to you .

Thank You

Thanks for that , my cover is not hard plastic like that its the faux carpet stuff , but now i know its approx position i can drill a hole and try and push it

There appear to be no openings of any kind apart from 2 plastic screw covers in the lower section , i have pulled these out and poked around but there is nothing there apart from the screw heads deeply recessed .

Nope that didnt work and it was well thumped

Many thanks for the reply , i will give it a go .

My hatch is refusing to open , i can hear the motor when i press the button so presume electrics are ok , crawled into boot to try and access a manual release but cant find any removable access panels , any ideas anyone
