How to open the locked rear hatch of the Seat Leon

Model: Seat Leon 1P - Years 2005-2013

In this short guide, we will see the instructions that will allow us to open the locked rear hatch of the Seat Leon, in simple and quick steps. First, we open the rear doors of the car and start to recline the backrests of the rear seats, thus accessing the trunk; then we proceed to release the lock of the rear hatch manually, maybe using a thin and pointed object like a flat screwdriver, as shown in the video. At this point, we open the rear hatch from the inside, and then proceed to repair the lock!
