how to remove tailgate boot lock from a car with boot lock seized?

Featured Replies

Hi, 

 

My car boot lock seized and using the emergency opening mechanism from inside the boot (the little hole for a screwdriver) doesn't help. is there a way to remove the lock mechanism from inside so that I can open the boot and replace the lock? I have a Superb hatchback, no electric tailgate.

If it’s failed that badly it may come down to a destructive method. Strip the inside out to access the latch and break open the plastic to remove parts until it’s free to unlock.

 

that’s as long as you have exhausted all other options and confirmed the latch is the faulty part :)
