One of yesterday’s tasks was to try open the Peugeot 206 CC bootlid/trunk
Amazingly patient guidance from Eddie Honda on thedarkwob saw me continue to fail.
Three hours, yes really….. 3 hours in total spent trying to get mechanisms addresses. Failed.
I have to admit that since getting the car home in November, it has done less than 2 miles, being surplus to my needs.
So I actually never even opened the roof, it was WINTER after all.
I am also petrified of opening the roof partially or something like that and getting it stuck only for the weather to change and it to become a big green bucket.
Removing the passenger side rear seat back allows you to get a hand, pokey stick or eyeball through the hole.
But not all three or even two at a time.
Space in the rear is also tight and limited access unless you are a contortionist or masochist or both.
So in preparation for this event I made up a pokey stick with a 90’ hook and LED light at the end.
Overall, this was the battlefield.
Trust me…….
It was not fun.
I may try access it all again some time today.
Fooling the roof mechanism into believing it is safe to open may be the way to get access to the rear. Though I don’t really know what to do after it opens halfway.
In the mean time the garage and sorting out all of that stuff means I have enough excuses to not get started either.
We will see.
