Miller 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2006 Hi. I was working on my e36 tonight and i was trying to fix rattles in the boot, And i found that the lock was rattling, so i took the lock out to try and fix it but then the boot fell shut and i cannot get into it. Does it have a emergency boot relese somewhere or any way to open the boot when there is no lock on it? Thanks p.s. its a 1996 323i. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kerrynzl 3 Report post Posted September 28, 2006 On most cars, when you remove a lock, theres a slot where the lock goes that can be opened with a screwdriver Have a good look [it's only mechanical] otherwise it's through the back seat Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jazzbass 1 Report post Posted September 28, 2006 (Alice in Wonderland) The Caterpillar instructs Alice that eating one side of the mushroom will make her larger and that the other will make her smaller. Alice grabs a handful from each side, and throughout the rest of her adventures, whenever she wants to grow or shrink to a particular size, she nibbles at the appropriate handful of mushroom. Maybe that'll work for you - eat the reducing mushroom and fit through the hole... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
