problem with the boot

Featured Replies

Evening all

I have come to use my boot today and it opened fine and then when i shut it it didnt shut properly (kinda half shut) now when i try and open it so that i can shut it properly it wont open. I have tried both manually doing it with the button and with the key fob, The mechanism is firing as i can hear it working but the bloody boot wont open and this is very annoying, any suggestions.....

matt, oh its on a fabia vrs 05 plate

If pushing it to try close it properly doesn't work, I think the way forward is to remove your rear seats and crawl in through there. IIRC there's a latch that can be manually released from the inside.

oh is there.... do you know where it may be. I have a rear strut bar so that kind stops me getting in the boot properly lol

As far as I know centre bottom at the latch position - CHECK HERE

Cheers peoples

Have you tried pushing the boot down to shut it properly and then opening it? or is something jammed in the way? i sometimes have to push my boot down a little to open it, even when shut properly! just a thought!
