Hi , I don't know what snotty said but
I watched the same problem be fixed at techenders last year
Can't remember who fixed it but someone much cleverer than me carefully prised the rubber seal out. The one between the lock and the engine lid.
This gave enough play to move tbe lock and open the lid.

 

That's a poss. Mine was more violent

 

Thanks for the advice!

 

I've got the same problem
All suggestions welcome, reluctant to use a crowbar. @snotty

 

Karate chop the button. Mind your hand.

 

Tried soft hammer. Whilst depressing lock

 

Got it open! Lock seems to operate correctly, so can't see what it gets stock on.

 

Think the strip inside the door, at the top of photo was catching, it'd got bent in a bit.

 

What I meant was short sharp shock on the button rather than pressing it. It's pretty common for them to stick like this.

 

Wooden spatula chop did it.

 

Thing about it, I realise I unconsciously open mine like this every time. Ah-so!
