Well it's been about one year since this thread was started and nothing concrete posted about what is the easiest way to free the flap and what can be done to permanently keep it free. I had a heat gun on mine for a good five minutes yesterday and still would not open. Seemed to be stuck further back in the mechanism. I tried the manual unlocking wire pull but no joy with that either. I got no charge last night and our disabled resident now can't get to her club for others like herself (weather is too bad anyway but that's no excuse). I'll have to try again today as I've very little charge left and may have to take a bus or taxi. This is turning into the worst car I've ever had in the last 36 years of car ownership. During that time I've had many makes and had no trouble with any of them (I mean nothing) no matter what time of year. This is just crap along with the other faults. It's certainly ringing true - buy cheap but dear!
