Hi all, I've got a 2011 Superb estate with an electric bootlid. The bootlid motors have now failed and I've decided to replace them with normal gas struts. However, when I close the lid forcibly (since the motors aren't running), the lid doesn't lock all the way down and the whirring from the locking mechanism doesn't sound. It cannot open without pressing the opening button, but there is a glitch as it isn't locked tight. My question is now this. If I replace the motors with the gas struts, how do I deal with the bootlid lock? Is there an electric by-pass, or do I need to replace the lock as well?
