boot will not open

Postby Scooby_simon » Mon Feb 23, 2009 1:26 pm

Chaps,

Is there a manual release inside the boot?

Key will not open it; and neither will the release beside the drivers seat.


On my old WRX sometimes the cable came unhoocked, is this the same in the Wr1?

OK, managed to flick the switch from the ski opening to make the internal catch work.

It appears the boot lock is trying to open but the bar from the lock to the catch will not move the catch. Might try a little bit of WD40 to loosen things up a little.
