How to open the boot of a Mercedes CLK 320 W208 when it is stuck

Model: Mercedes Clk A208, W208, C208 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, you will see how to open the rear hatch of a Mercedes CLK320 W208 that is stuck. It does not open from the remote or from inside. The YouTuber has the best idea: read the owner's manual. Unfortunately, it does not open even with the key, but here comes the great friend of all DIY enthusiasts: WD-40. A good spray, let it sit for a moment, and the key will enter and open without problems. The issue, once the rear hatch was opened, was with the flexible tube that carried the wires to the lock. It was damaged, and once repaired, everything worked as before.
