Search my threads mate. I had this problem (well similar).

All I did was remove both side engine covers and with a small chizel I smashed both the rivets out of the hinges. Lift the boot lid up from the back (engine side) and pull the carpet down and pull the mechanism by hand.

You can either then get some new rivets put back in or use some bolts with locking threads as a temporary fix.

good luck.

took me ages to figure out this lol
