Hi all.
A friend has jammed the rear false floor web pull handle into the lock latch . The CL is not opening it and the web cannot be pulled free.
Any suggestions as to how I can gain access to it or is there another mechanical handle that I can operate to open the hatch ?
I intend to go over and look at it for him tomorrow so have not actually tried anything as yet .
Attached is a photo I got him to take of the issue .
Thanks in advance .

Rough as rats proposal here......when you go over to help him, take a crow bar. Someone gently lever inside with the crow bar in the gap between plastic trims as someone operates the button outside and pulls.......

i was going to say what denboy suggested - Try and take the pressure off the lock to let the solenoid work rather than force it. maybe push the tailgate while trying to pull the web out? good luck
