2007 Continental GT opening boot when battery is flat

[kajagoogoo]

Hi there

How do you access the batteries in the boot when they are flat? Boot lock is electric and won't work - there is no key operation for the boot.

I saw some references online to accessing the boot area via the ski hatch and using a broom(!) to activate..... exactly what I don't know. I can't see anything inside the boot to aim for with the broom.

Can't find anything in the handbook.

I would be interested to know.

Good news is that even after leaving the thing for 4.5 months, I followed the "turn key to the left, wait for click, then start normally with key" instructions in the handbook. Nothing at first - then, having moved the gear lever from P to N and back to P - vroom - it started. Impressive,I thought, after all that time.

But if it hadn't started - how would I get to the batteries?

Thanks.

Thanks. Darned if I can find any release handle in the boot area - anywhere. Mine is a 2007 GT - do all models have one?
