S14DST Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Hello everyone, I'm new to Z cars! I own 03 Z33 for about 4 months now and the last issue that my Z has is that I can't open my rear hatch! And yes I tried to pull that little thing under Z sign in boot, but it's absolutely stuck and won't help! The button above number plate works, as it makes a clicking sound, but the hatch won't open! Is there any way I could try and open it without sawing off the latch? (I might be spelling a bit wrong but I hope you all understand what I mean) Tried too google about this, but it seems that everyone can open with the thingy in the boot manually, but in my case unfortunetaly it's stuc too :/ Quote
richard.hezlett Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 I'm I right in assuming that you have tried lifting the hatch at the same time as pushing the button above the rear number plate? Quote
S14DST Posted January 9, 2015 Author Posted January 9, 2015 Yes I have Maybe it is possible to remove some plastic trim to access the bolts or at least see what's up with the mechanism? Or maybe there is some other way to open it? It's actually very annoying as this is my daily driver :/ Quote
marzman Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Get inside and put some weight into pushing it open, whilst pulling the lever under the strut and having someone on the outside too? Quote
Keyser Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Only thing I can suggest is you get a mate to push down on the boot - then pull the cable release then with it still pulled get ya mate to try lifting it. Might help take the pressure off the catch Quote
ZMANALEX Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 As above, should open with the cable. Good luck. Quote
S14DST Posted January 10, 2015 Author Posted January 10, 2015 Thanks for replies, I will try these things with my mate, and will let you if it helped Quote
