HELP! Roof/Hood housing won't open
 

HI All
The first day London has a sunny day this year and my hood doesn't work! Problem is the bit that the hood is housed in won't open. I know it does that if the boot is open or unlocked but I have tried every way.
Does anyone have any answers/ideas? London will only have a few lovely days...

2 hours later...now the boot won't open either!

Sunny D

What model and year and a translation for us American types. I know the boot is the trunk, but is the hood the convertible top compartment cover or the convertible top itself?

I think hood is the hood of the car?
