570GT broken rear latch means I can’t drive car

[fitzmoresco]

No drama, used fob to open rear glass to load bags in the back. Tried to shut it but latch won’t catch. Tried slamming, gently pushing, fiddling with the mechanism, locking and unlocking and a good 10mins of swearing at the car - basil fawlty style. No joy. Any suggestions, heard this is a known fail? Can’t drive car with back open. Car under warranty so supplying dealer suggested I call McL breakdown recovery to get car to them otherwise they would charge a fee!!!

Thoughts welcome 🙏

I thought about that and have roll of bd-strength gorilla tape I could use. However wasnt keen on anchoring it on the paint work plus I am quite a ways from the dealer

Thought about it and gaffer taping a McL can’t be the solution! (thank you for some good suggestions). Will get McL breakdown recovery involved and keep you updated
