Charge hatch not opening AGAIN

[paulhib24]

Agreed but maybe something like this would help a little while it charging. Skoda does offer the cover as Phlash has pictured but surely this design needs to be changed in the next model upgrade!

Charge flap locked shut solution.
Locked shut this morning, as mentioned on here.
If it is fully shut and will not 'pop' open, then lock and unlock the car using the touch lock/unlock on the doors.
Not the keyfob. lock unlock twice and then flap opens as normal.

Locking and unlocking won't do anything if the lock motor is burnt out due to water ingress... That's the issue that people have been having on the Enyaq (and many other VW/Skoda/Seat/Audi models).

Happened to me too his morning. AA ripped the painted panel off the latch and snapped off half of the plastic latch to give enough wiggle room to open the port. This is clearly a design flaw. AA man said he attends a load of golf and polo with the same issues.

It is possible to remove the coloured plastic cover with very little damage if you know what you’re doing. It has to be levered up at the back, then it can slide backwards to disengage from runners. At most you should only break the plastic clip that retains it, and a dab of glue will replace that.
