my boot release lever doesnt seem to be working in my 94' wrx. when i pull it there is sort of life but no boot opening. i cant get to the inside of the boot either =\ helppp

Can you not open the boot directly with the key?

If/when you get into the boot I believe there is a little lever on the latch assembly which enables and disabled the lever. You've probably knocked it when getting stuff in and out.

lol... if it ain't this its the sidelights are stuck on... there should be a sticky at the top of the page...

the boot doesnt have a key hole lol

I assume it used to have one!?

How about a split rear seat to climb in through?

If not .... you'll have lots of fun. I hope you dont have any shopping that will go off in the boot.

KandyRed

seats dont come down either, not sure if it used to have one lmao. nar not much tht can go off . any suggestions then? =)

Yamarashi

The only thing I can think of that might not involve damaging something is if the rear bumper was taken off there might be some access to the mechanism via a hole in the body work if your lucky.

Got no idea though to be honest ... you might need to make some strategic holes to gain access.

does not sound like fun tbh =\. any garages around derbyshire that could possibly sort me out?

You should be able to get in if you take the back seat out,have you caught the lever on the lock as this would disable the boot pull.Blame Rich for de-lockin the boot LOL

I'm sure there will be (but I cant advise) ... if you've got the money someone will be glad to take your hard earned cash and sort it!

Have you got someone to help pull and push the boot (jiggle it about) while you frantically pull the release lever whilst thinking about how much money you'll be paying a stealer to sort it.

My bugeye has a lever on the boot lid lock mechanism that disables to remote openy thing maybe that was flicked, dont know if classic had that. No idea why its there I'd prefer a rear wiper, in fact I'll swap the 'bright' switch and that for a wiper lol.

Back seats out and crawl thru I guess. You could always uprate the fuel pump while the seats are out

Yamarashi

Just wondering ... as everyone is suggesting the removal of the back seats (which certainly would be the best option) can you actually get the back of the back seats out without going into the boot?

Scoobyslammed

Dont think so... I think your only way in is gonna be to smash your rear light...

KandyRed

ive got an alloy in the back which has probably caught this lever thingy. just going to be a job getting in there =\

KandyRed

what would be the best cost effective way of getting into the boot then? any ideas? and also are there any places that sort it out?

RUDDY

source a 2nd hand back seat and butcher yours with an angle grinder!! i dont think your get enoygh access through the rear light!!
