B.L.Z.BUB Posted April 13, 2010 Report Posted April 13, 2010 WD40 the latch, and pull the release a few times. Prob just stuck open. Or do you mean its stuck up and you can't lower it? Quote
Old fella Posted April 13, 2010 Report Posted April 13, 2010 Angle grind a hole thru it and get a bit of chain and a padlock. BAHAHAHA!!!!!!! :( :wink: Quote

Put the key in and turn it to the unlock position, If that does not work PM me your details and I will come look. Quote
drc_ke20 Posted April 13, 2010 Report Posted April 13, 2010 (edited) maybe your cable is stuck or loosen up the latch? what about this one? Edited April 13, 2010 by drc_ke20 Quote
parrot Posted April 13, 2010 Report Posted April 13, 2010 What you need to do is get inside with a torch and have someone slam it really hard. Make sure you have the key in your pocket so you can unlock it and let yourself out. Quote

Old fella Posted April 14, 2010 Report Posted April 14, 2010 heres sum pics as you can see it wont close and its sumthing to do with the corners of it G`day mate, its hard to tell from the pics but its worth checking that the latch isn`t actually in the locked position when the boot is open. When you look at the latch it should have a gap that fits over the locking bar on the beaver panel bit. If that gap is not visible, grab a screwdriver/ pliers whatever and simply return it to the open position. Might take a bit of muscle coz its spring loaded. Cheers. Quote

altezzaclub Posted April 14, 2010 Report Posted April 14, 2010 Does the boot go down to the closed position? or is it jammed up like that on the hinges?? Quote
