I cant open my tourer boot, I think it is more than just being iced up.
I went to use my car on Saturday for the first time since the snow, I opened the boot and went to get something but the gas struts couldn’t support the boot lid and it fell shut. After that I havent been able to open it despite having tipped hot water round the sides of the boot lid. When I now drive the car I have the 'TAIL GATE' light lit up all the time so the car thinks it is open.
Pressing the boot button on my key doesn’t even cause any beeps or flashes now.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is something in the locking mechanism broken or jammed? Any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks,
Simon
