I've recently replaced ours. You need to undo the bolt that holds it in, then using trim removal tools (plastic lever) pull the bottom right hand side of the boot trim off. I only pulled out the right hand side as you can just get your hand round to remove the broken bit (if needed). I found I needed the trim off else the broken bit wouldn't come out and you can't get the new one in as the angle it goes in at and the boot structure. Push the trim back (careful to check clips are lined up with holes as you push it back). Then torx bolt back in.

Our 2018 has a knock from the LHS (nearside). I was hoping it was the drop links and replaced them (as cheap) myself but the knock is still there. I believe its the top mount. I found (after changing the drop links *sigh*), with ours you can only replicate it if someone is sat in the passenger seat when you push down on the front. Bonnet up, push on inner wing edge or the front hard to get it bouncing (I have to get a good bounce on it to knock). If you bounce it without someone in the passenger seat, no knock noise. The knock coming from the top of the strut. Might be worth trying to see if you can replicate it that way (careful when pushing hard you dont bend/dent anything!).

We've a 1.0 that drives fine, but between 3k and 3.5k rpm there is a metallic rattle. I tried revving on the drive, but couldn't hear it. I suspect a heat shield somewhere is resonating. Anyone else had this?

The handbrake button chrome edge on our 18 plate karoq is peeling up, creating a sharp edge. We've only had the car 4 months and it has less than 5000 miles on it. We need to get to the dealer for it to be looked at, but has anyone else had this issue?
