Did you ever get into an accident involving a rear end collision?

Grab a torch, screw driver then fold the seats down and climb into the boot.
From memory a flat head to pop the clips and a Philips head for the two screws in the grab spot.
Undo the lower carpet and pull it away.
Have a look if the linkage has popped out of the locking actuator.
