URGENT HELP PLEASE - Need to close the boot!

[Normski]

Bad news for the GS. Someone ran into the GS while the Mrs was driving on the M1. THANKFULLY her and both kids (along with the other folk) walked away unhurt. PHEW!

Car wise....nice crease/damage on the bumper plus boot lid. Now the darn boot keeps popping back up due to the auto mechanism. Is there any way to disable it so that it remains shut till I get it over to the repair folk??

Please help guys as don't want to be leaving the car with the boot open!

Duck tape 👍

[dutchie01]

yes, ducktape or maybe straps. doesnt look nice but will be effective for a short trip on monday and the boot will be closed tonight

Oh gawd, glad folks are all okay.

 

You say the auto mechanism is causing the boot to pop open. To keep the boot closed, could you close it and whip out the fuse?

[Normski]

Thanks guys. Good ole duck tape to the rescue. The low-fi solution is indeed the best - totally wrecking the paintwork that I only just corrected but needs must :)

I also tracked the fuse down too - so will give this a go in the morning.
