E-Class Cabriolet 67 Plate problem with the boot closing/opening

[Tommy Crooks]

Hi everyone.
Recently within the past week my boot has malfunctioned. When I try to open it by pressing the Merc badge, it doesnt open. It only opens when I open it using the key fob.

Does anyone have a similar experience and if so, what did you do about it?
Obviously, if I take this to the local Merc dealership, they'll skin me alive for repair costs.
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated although I can sense a large repair bill coming my way.

many thanks.

Tommy

Hi Tommy, welcome to the forum. We love Edinburgh, we get there as often as we can. The City is so vibrant. We can normally be found at the Waverley in the City centre.
