    Avant tailgate will not open....

    Hi, the opening mechanism on my avant seems to have given up the ghost - not a biggy as I have a replacement - but I cannot open my tailgate and it is innaccessible due to the interior boot trim - does anyone have any ideas how to get into it - and get it open so that I can carry out repairs?.

    if you climb into the boot you will see a carpet like covering on the boot trim,at each end there are 'flaps' that open.You should be able to access the various rods attached to the locking mech from there
