Hey, can anyone tell me how l can open the boot on a 2011 RRS...? Rolling shell so no ignition / battery connection... have an engine in the boot l need to get out is on half latch at the mo... any suggestions before l cut the roof (damaged) out with a Stihl Saw
Cheers
 
Have you got a handbook for the car, it may describe an emergency release in there.
I know our L322 has it. A little plastic trim to pop out on the upper then pull a cable the the bottom need to slide a screwdriver down to the latch each side.

Sport will/may be different but sure there will be a less drastic route than disc cutters:)

And I have just tried no need a screwdriver you can actually reach the release with your finger down the gap on the lower this is what your feeling for

Ah there lie the problem.

You have to be in it first:D to do that.
If your nicking it why would you open the tailgate. Unless your putting supermarket shopping in I suppose.:)
