boot stuck closed - help needed (I'm not inside)

[H Bomb]

As per above, the actuator rod will be broken, its like coathanger wire bend into a rod about 3 inches, it will be obvious once you take the boot liner off, I actually replaced mine with coathanger wire as it was stronger, just model it exactly on the broken one, mine was broken at the end where it bends around at 180 degrees. I think when you take it to holden to be fixed they try to tell you to replace the whole thing including the motor bit, way dearer than just the wire.
