Beetle

  • 3,000 miles
My daughter's 2013 VW Beetle does not have an emergency trunk release. The only way to release it is to lower the rear seats, crawl into the trunk and using your key, insert it into a slot in the dark, and slide it while pushing up on the trunk! not very good for a child who would be locked in !
