Why can't the trunk of the Bora be opened manually but can be opened with the remote control?

There is a metal button on the top; pressing it will open the trunk. It's important to ensure your hand does not block the key that pops out from the side when pressing the button. If the trunk of the Bora cannot be opened, it is recommended that the owner perform the following checks. First, inspect the trunk lock mechanism for any mechanical faults or rust. Second, check if the sealing strip has aged, as prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause it to stick to the trunk lid. Applying lubricant to the trunk seal can resolve this issue. Lastly, examine whether the trunk release cable of the Bora is broken; replacing it with a new one will solve the problem. In 2001, FAW-Volkswagen introduced the all-new sedan under the name "Bora BORA" in China. With its dynamic design and advanced technology, it quickly established a reputation as the "driver's car," becoming the ideal vehicle for countless young people and pioneering the era of high-quality family sedans in China.
