Default Fuel flap won't open

My 09 V70 2.4TD fuel flap switch has stopped working. I can't find the knob referred to in the manual to open it manually. HELP!

The release is behind the trim. Look in your manual.

This is on the older V70 model, perhaps the trims to remove are different https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIn0_gOXWLY

In the handbook for my 2011 XC70 it says to remove the corner trim to access the green plastic manual opener. It does not however mention that you also have to remove a small square of soundproofing to get to it.

Had a good look in there with a torch and mirror and found nothing. Will look tomorrow to see if there is any soundproofing that can be lifted. Thanks for that.
