C Class e350 Hybrid

Hello all. I have the above model, and was looking to see if anyone (with any Merc Hybrid) has had experience of the charging flap on the back bumper being stuck shut. I’ve tried various solutions found online - lock/unlock with key, WD40, nothing works, resolutely stuck. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Seems to be a common thread of control cables failing and known issue by MB from what I’ve read

Thanks John, appreciate your reply. Have received similar replies elsewhere, suggesting solenoid needs replacing, bumper off to do this. Deep joy, something to look forward to once all the covid fun is over
