If you can access the inside of the boot from inside the car, then you should be able to remove the plate that holds the lock in place. Then get out of the car, remove the lock, and you should be able to open the boot with a flat screw driver the same way as the lock would have. Clear as. It should work.

If you use 3 or 4 long extensions, you don't even need to crawl into the boot area.

It can't be hard 'cos EVEN I managed to fix mine when it got jammed. Pulled the back of the seat out, crawled in the boot, unbolted the lock, opened the boot AND......shock and suprise put it all back together and it works ;D 8) 8) 8) Title: Re: boot lock vandal.....
