R230 SL350
R230 SL Roof partially closed - please help

Hi, I’m hoping for some help and advice with my 2003 R230 SL350 please. My roof has developed a problem and does not fully close. It is leaking hydraulic fluid from the top of the windscreen, so I’m pretty sure it’s the cylinder there that is leaking. However I can’t can’t the roof to fully close, so can’t open the boot to enable me to use the manual process closing process. Is there a way of manually opening from where it’s currently at? I’ve attached a photo to show where the boot is at in the closing stage, and am at a loss on how to get into the boot now? Many thanks in advance.

Unlock the trunk with the mechanical key and manually lock the frame latches.
