Anyone had problems with the boot release not engaging when it's cold?

I get no response at all from the badge when pressed if it's below 5 degrees. Anything above that and it works fine! If the boot wont work and I need petrol how do I get in??

Cheers

Works on two rubber bungs either side of a central push switch. If the bungs are cold they dont depress as well. The badge will never bend cos its too thick and coated with enamel that would rather crack first. Probably why there are so many cracked chipped badges.

Either warm the bungs with hot water and then depress. Or remove the carpet inside and do up the bolt on either side of the badge until a butterfly fart on the badge would click the switch. End of problem.


Nice one men!!! DOes that not mean if I tighten it to butterfly proportions any snifter of the accelerator will casue immediate boot opening. Good party trick!
