My boot is playing up due the the microswitch in the drivers door lock playing up, so I did the conversion to a manual boot twin lever arrangement like the comfort trim level on my Ambient this afternoon, hardest part is getting the inner sill trim up, but once thats done its a straight forward job.

 

Here are the part numbers of the bits required

Handle s6y2827261ab41

Handle s6y827261b41

Twin Levers s6y2827611 Skoda call it a gear ?

Cable s6y6827532c

 

Strangely enough the Boot release handle required a bit of the underside dremeling off, I can only assume the sill trim on the comfort is different, its only about 6mm needs removing so not very much, otherwise the handle touches the sill trim, before it slides on, had to make a saddle to stop the nipple on the cable going through the lever in the boot, must be a plastic retaining clip which we missed ordering the bits. The trim plate needs the end removed to fit between the levers beside the drivers seat and thats a quick job.

 

Boot now open on the lever as designed in the lesser trim levels.

Nice one.

 

My base model has both the manual lever and electric release on the boot lid. Still drove me mad when the microswitch was faulty though. Soon gets tiresome having to open the drivers door to pull the lever every time you want to get the boot open (or open another door with working microswitch to activate the lid switch).

With the lock assembly at around the £155 and a total door strip I can work around it lol
