This guide provides instructions to unlock and open the rear boot lock from inside a Volkswagen Golf in case the lock is jammed. First, open the rear doors and recline the seatbacks to access the inside of the boot; then use a thin, pointed tool to unlock the boot lock through the small gap, as shown in the video.

At this point, open the boot from the outside, then proceed with the repair or replacement of the lock.

How to Remove the Toll Tag Holder from the Windscreen Without Damaging the Glass

We found this product that seems suitable, specifically designed for this purpose, and it also thoroughly removes dirt, grease, oil, and antifreeze salt from plastic surfaces.
