think you just need a longer bolt or something so that the boot is lifted up and over the catch (so it just sits on it but is still unlocked).

Either that or you could fit some boot lifters so it automatically raises

u need to take the safety catch off the lock with a dremel or a grinder, or get some1 to pull the boot when you press the button.

As neiliosxi said you have to cut the latch off the lock so only the locking mechanism holds the boot closed
