Default Boot Release
Anyone else had an issue with the internal boot release on an 04 plate WRX? Mine has just stopped working for some reason...

At the actual lock mechanism - a small lever in the centre of the boot.

Just checked and I think my cable has snapped!

I think the switch was to stop people from smashing window and pulling the boot release....

My boot release just stopped working and this thread has saved me from ripping out all the trim to replace an unbroken cable Thanks Scoobynet.
