Thank you so much. After months and months of accessing my boot through the inside of the car behind the seats because my boot wouldn't open, I have fixed it following this video. It opens with ease every time now. Very pleased with myself, a very happy lady! 😊

Really appreciate this video. Just bought an 05 estate today for about half its value as the previous owner was planning to scrap it because the boot wouldn't open! This video basically just paid me 600 quid for 20 minutes work!

Hi, thanks for the video. My hatch was open, central door locking is out and I locked the hatch 😂. Did the same as you but guessed to open with an 8 mill. Allan key. Thanks again!

Very informative, thank you. I’m having the same issue with my 08 Vectra estate, I got it open through the hole inside, but all I’ve done so far is doused the mechanism in WD40. - Never even thought about a micro switch! Thanks again.👍

Great presentation from start to finish, especially the meter check. Very helpful, fixed my problem. Cheers.

Great video mate, thanks for that. I will give that a try tomorrow when it's not raining.

Mines just gone. Nice one ill sort it myself thanks to this video 👍

Thank you very much for this easy to follow tutorial, the arse end of my mark 5 wouldnt open and I followed your advice and fixed it, top man.

Had same problem but the fix on mine wasn’t damp or the switch, it was the rubber cover pressing on the switch (so the switch is permanently pressed on and trips out). Turned the rubber cover around (so it’s convex as opposed to its correct concave position) and glued it on. Works perfectly and still water resistant.

Thanks for the very helpful video Gonna try it this weekend

Thanks for this great video and advice , i had the same problem , i tried the small plastic insert , that did not work . I was able to remove the old switch , my local garage got me a second hand replacement within a couple of days , i was able to do the fitting thanks for your clear guidance .

Merci beaucoup ! Grace a vous j'ai réparé l'ouverture de mon coffre. Géniale.

Great video man! Thanks very much. I haven't tried the repair yet but at least I know what to expect

thanks for the video, honestly I dont know what I did just messed around with the screwdriver but didnt feel anything but it losen the lock so I could open with the regular way from the trunk.

Superb fixed the car just like yours I used a bit of plastic glued on and it's fantastic now thank you so much fir this video.

Got the same problem, been fitting a new rear wash jet so maybe mines got wet. Thanks for the info on the method to open it from the inside.Know where to start now.

Thanks alot Sir for a helpful video!

I worked for Vauxhall dealer for 6 years they used to brake under warranty so defo a fooked switch everytime lol Nice temp fix but for the sake of £14.86 + vat i personally while its already apart of just replaced it for peace of mind. If your boot is full when goes wrong & get a puncture etc.....

Hi, watched your video on the rear 5th door repair was good . I have a problem with my Zafira boot door witch keeps flicking on and off whilst driving and having to stop to close the boot ,this is happening all the time .any suggestions please.

Very helpful, had the same issue.

Thank you

Thank you very much.

what if you cant access the trunk from the inside? i have a two seater, and theres like a grill between the front seats and the back of the car. Do you have any idea of how do i do it? thanks

Really helpful thanks!

Bravo, super video💪🎖️👌👍it worked for me...

I tried this but it didn't work for me simply because it wasn't the issue i had(didn't know that at the time so tried this anyway)if it doesn't work for anybody else and you have also noticed your front and rear screen wash pumps have stopped working its probably the little red 10amp fuse in the fuse box under the bonnet on the right hand side, cost me under £1.50 for two fuses(you only need one), took two minutes to replace and now my boot and both front and rear screen wash pumps are working fine again.

Hvala, thx👍

Thanks

Can I make this switch weatherproof somehow? There is some ice inside the button and it's not working when cold outside. Is just silicone between rubber cover good enough?

Thanks for the help bro

Do you know how to fix car door that stuck next to driver side with astra holden

hi, i tried easy fix didnt work, bought new part still didnt work, anymore info onit would be good cheers. i could hear clicking from boot fusebox if that helps any.

Does the piece glued in interfere with the central locking

Had similar problem checked the fuse no.8 in the engine compartment washers on same 10 amp mini fuse

cheers mate

Having trouble at the first stage trying to open with screwdriver. What size flat head is needed? thanks

How do u remove this plastic handle ?

Legend

Great video, I have Twintop, trunk wont open , mecanism stuck

My partners astra boot does the same thing, but we've tried pressing the clicky button so hard and we hear the click every time but the boot doesn't open. Do you think this is a technical fault instead of the button not being pressed properly?

perfetto grazie

Merci

Thanks for that

Is it the same for a signum? The boot won't open, but when i unlock the car with the remote, lock pushes the boot back a bit, but not open, its stuck between opened and locked, i cant push on it to make it closed, but can't open it

Bardzo ładnie in Poland.

Mine has a broken pin and i dont know witch pin to put The wire in to

just glue a plastic spacer in there .. make that switch work easier

Do you drive around all the time with your registration plate covered up?

Hi, You cannot get to the switch witout removing the crhome?... omly to pill the rubber?

❤️

Top man

By my car the tailgate lock goes automtic open if i start the car. I dont now what the problem is.

Mine is Astra H twintop and the trunk wont open any advice?

If I fitted a new micro switch would I need to do anything to the key fob such as reprogramming or is it just a simple replacement

another thing that it could've been is a fuse under the bonnet

Do you think this will work on opel corsa?

Do I need to disconnect battery before I remove micro switch?

My bad week continues. Yeah I found a plastic bit out of place thats stopping the switch and repair it and test. It`s a bit slow getting to 0 ohms and when you release the switch it still takes a while to go to open circuit. When you connect it, it opens the lock soon as you connect and won`t work after. I am going to glue a microswitch in place as I`ve had enough today. Bloody cars FFS.

anybody in norwich able to do this for also sort door trims they all loose

Wrong! It's just the glue that holds the switch in place so just re-glue the switch in place.
