What to do if the trunk of the Opel Astra J does not open?
Years 2009-2016

Answer

Opening the trunk is always possible from the inside, although it's certainly not convenient: we have to enter the car through the rear doors, fold down the back seats and crawl towards the internal lock of the trunk. There, on the right side of the lock, we have to remove a part of the upholstery on the right, where we will find a lever (or a button, depending on the model) to press it and the trunk - albeit in an emergency - will open.
