I came to open my boot this morning, and as I pushed the button, it popped out of its mounting and dropped inside the bodywork cavity.

So, I have two humble requests:

Can anyone please email me with details of how to open the boot with the switch; and

Can anyone tell me how I might go about retrieving the switch!? I have tried fishing around through the hole, but it seems to have dropped some way down, beyond the reach of fingers (haven't tried a coat hanger yet, though).

Thanks.

In the hope that there's some ferrous metal in the switch, one of the pen-type extendable magnetic retrievers (example) might do the trick - Streaky

Or a "rare earth" magnet (very strong for its size) "super-glued" to a bit of string - S
