Rear boot trim fitment

[bestyuk]

Hi, 

 

Does anyone know if the boot trim door that covers the cd changer compartment in a pre face lift octavia vrs will fit the same void in the facelift?  

 

This void seems like the ideal place for a small amplifier.  If the door from the facelift would fit it would mean the amp doesn't get dripped on when you open the boot and the settled rain water comes in!  From what i can see it looks like the same size opening.

 

Thanks

As far as I know, they should be the same. If you look at the top part of the boot side carpet, can you see insert holes where the clips of the door should sit in?

If so, they will be the same. If not, you might have to change the whole boot side carpet to properly fit the door.

I am going to try to get hold of my brothers one and try it out.  I am not sure how it hinges at the bottom but i will soon see i guess.

The bottom of the carpet also has hole inserts in it. The trim door has tabs on it which insert into them holes. It basically just sits in them two holes.

Just in case anyone digs this up in the future.  The cd changer compartment door trim from a pre fl fits perfectly in the face lift.  You will need to make the slits in the side boot trim for the door lugs to go into.  Nothing that can't be done with a stanley knife and sharp blade.  

 

Ideal place to store an amp out of harms way. 

 

Thanks
