Status: offline "Loop" behind panel is emergency fuel flap opener.

I suspect but have no specific expertise on this issue that the header rail catches are not releasing.
I''m reasonably confident that the bowden cable(s) have become detached or broken but that is as far as I can go.
I''ll take a look during the course of the day to see if I can add anything further. Unfortunately I don''t have access to WIS at present.

BlueTeam has made a suggestion. Why not follow up on that?

Status: offline Stuart: FYI, the book says that the cable(s) with loop are the auxiliary pulls to release the front hinge locks on the trunk. Thought you might want this info. There is a cable inside the panel on each side of the trunk. I just happened to come across this bit of trivia.

So I now know where the "bowden cables" terminate!
