I had a problem with my trunk opening for awhile. Most of the
problem was worn parts and poor alignment. To open the trunk when it was
stuck I had to push the button then pull hard out and up at the same time.
Hope this helps you.

Subject: Tiger Trunk (Boot) lock
Hey Gang,
Took the Tiger to the grocery store a couple of days ago and, much to
my dismay, when I attempted to open the trunk (boot) the damned push
button thing gave up the ghost... Just depressed all the way without
engaging. I have spent considerable time messing with it and no way
can I get it open. Button just depresses without result.
If I ever get it open I can figure it out and replace the locking
mechanism with one from Sunbeam Specialties.
Anybody had this problem before? What is the recommended low tech
solution to this decidedly low tech problem?
(Other than that, the Tiger did just fine, ran like a scalded dog.
Fortunately, there was more than enough room behind the seat for my
groceries... The crowd of onlookers--Jeez! It sure does attract
'em!--never even realized I had a problem.)
Cheers!
