there is a lever inside the glove box to unlatch the trunk !! that model also may have a key lock on the handle that you may have to unlock as well. it is in front of car and after unlocking it you push the lock cylinder in on the handle and pull upwards the trunk is in the front.
I try this but it doesn't work?
If you look in the glove compartment, on the left hand side should be like a little level that you put down and then it should unlock it and should be able to open the trunk.
To open the trunk on a 1971 VW beetle, there is a little handle in the glove compartment which must be pulled toward the passenger seat to allow you to pop the trunk open. Pull the lever and then push the button on the trunk (hood). It should open right up. If the lever in the glove box is broken, you'll have to use a pair of pliers to pull the cable that unlocks the trunk. Good Luck...
By the light in the trunk of the car there is a hand sized panel. Inside there is a cable with some foam around it. Pull the cable and the door should pop open.
To open the hood on a 1998 Volkswagen Beetle if the release mechanism is broken, it is necessary to remove the back seat and locate the broken part of the cord and pull on it. If the trunk mechanism breaks it will be necessary to crawl under the vehicle to locate the broken cord.
i had problems trying to open my trunk until i figured out the "trick". insert key, turn right, then push in, that should open it. hope that helps!
As far as I can see, because I crawled into the trunk to open the trunk so I could repair the mechanism that opens the trunk. No!
Open the trunk; unscrew the plastic nut and then the back light assembly can be removed (may require a flat head screw driver to pop it out); unscrew the light and change the bulb.
The boot or the trunk is under the front hood of a 1967 VW Beetle. To open the hood, make sure the handle is unlocked, turn the handle to the right and lift.
Start the car with the trunk (hatchback) and driver's door open. The alarm will be deactivated. I don't know how to turn it back on.
Unfortunately, if your locking mechanism has failed there is no way to open your trunk alone. You will need to go to a mechanic so they can replace the lock.
When you open the drivers door you will see an access panel on the sie of the dashboard, the fuse box is behind it.
Open the front hood/trunk, remove the wiring cover. If you look closely there are nutsholding the dashboard on.
