Help, I've got problems here
Ok, I stored my C6 2 months ago and my battery went dead, so I can't get in the car. I look in my manual where it says to open the trunk with the key right over the licences plate. The problem is that there is no key entry thier !!!!! All I have is a round rubber thing. So I thought maybe I have to remove it and the key entry is under, but when I remove it there's seems to be a button which does nothing.
Help !!!!!

Yep. The button does nothing because the battery power is gone. After you put the key in the keyhole, turn the key clockwise in the lock.After you open the hatch with the key, look for a plastic pull-tab on the end of a cable sticking out of the carpet on the left sidewall as you're looking toward the front of the car. Pulling that tab will unlock the driver's door.

Then couldn't find the button to open the tonneau cover to store the top. Of course, it is an electric top.
Finally said 'enjoy the car, most all the stuff you need is in the book'. Is the book in the glove compartment? 'I t;hink so!' See ya'

Mine is mounted right to the car. Just connect it to the battery and plug it in to an ext. cord and you're good to go..er, stay. You have to remember to disconnect before you go.

I have seen new car sales people that did not even know about the inside emeregency door release. Know one ever reads the manuals and that goes for dealership sales staff also.
