Rear-screen not releasing after standing for a while & replacing the battery

If you need help with your C3 Pluriel, that seems specific to the Pluriel (like the roof), ask here. Engine and Transmission problem must be asked in the relevant topic for the problem. The Pluriel shares the same Engine, Gearbox, Brakes and Transmission as the other C3 models (see above for the correct section).

Did you know the Pluriel shares the engines, gearboxes, electrical, audio system, suspension, steering and running gear with the early C3?

Hi,

The roof on our 2008 HDi Pluriel seems to be happy with life, but the rear screen no longer releases when I press the large black button at the back. iirc pressing this button used to make some motor/release sound and then allowed me to press another button which allowed the metal boot "door" to fold down. But now there's nothing when I press the large black spongy button.

The car stood for six months which killed the battery, this has now been replaced with a brand new one and the car fires up & runs fine. Except during the time it has been standing, I can now no longer release the rear screen. Unless my brain is letting me down and I'm doing it wrong?

I read somewhere here that there are a few recommended hoops to jump through after disconnecting/reconnecting the battery (although the post was entitled "C3", not Pluriel specifically). All I did when swapping our battery was take the old one out and put the new one in.

Any tips/suggestions/things to check would be very welcome

Thanks,

Steve
