Well, I'll have to go in for warranty repairs next Tuesday. My boot won't open anymore and the problem is most likely a switch behind my nice 100% undamaged driver's side door. The other probable cause is the lock itself, which will require boot panels removed. With credits to this super forum to point out the most likely faults, as my dealer is unaware of any problems with the boot, let be solutions.
I've got no doubt in my mind they will be able to trace the cause as they are quite good in the technical area.

There are also a few scuffs on my boot panels having been already present when I picked up my car. I only made a few small nearly invisible scratches pulling out the tire pump/repair kit.
To add to my fear, my glove box will also be replaced as it is scratched and has discolored (on the inside).
I'll tape off all edges near the glove box myself, to the best of my ability, to avoid damage. Now that I've spilled out my gut, would it be a good/normal

idea to make pictures of every area they might come across, documenting what is and what is not damaged? Of course they would have to have knowledge of this document, preferably signed

I absolutely want my car back, fixed without the slightest scuff, scratch or grease spot. I've had to eat up my anger in the past as they fringed screwdrivers underneath panels chipping them at numerous places. The controls for the windows were even misaligned and were hanging about 0,5cm off.

What do you guys think?
