Smile is this what you mean?

If you mean keeps clattering at you on/off on/off when you press boot release I just turn the key hard in the boot and lift hard at same time. but you may mean something else?

While one person presses the boot release, have another lift the boot, then as Ian says, wind the rubber buffers out a 1/4 turn

Just put a little upward pressure on the plinth while pressing the release button on the remote.
