How to open the locked flap of a Volkswagen Golf MK7? You can see it in this video: first, you can try to unlock the flap by spraying WD-40 on the part that is stuck. If you remove the colored cover of the flap, you can access the opening mechanism more easily by applying slight pressure on it. Often, it is just a matter of thoroughly cleaning the moving parts of the flap, which may be enough to open it. Clean the end part of the flap well, then its lock, and then you can put the colored cover back on; this will help you save a considerable amount of money.
