How do you adjust boot catch on a saloon? I dont have electric boot closeure (I close it by hand). Sometimes when I close the boot and get into the car and start driving I get a warning message on maxidot that the boot is opened. And when I stop and check, the boot indeed in not fully / properly closed. Can this be adjusted so the boot closes properly?

Pull the trim off by the latch and underneath it will be the latch held on with 2 bolts, loosen them and move it to suit.

And don't forget to check the two rubber 'stoppers' - one each side on the back of the C pillars. They can also be adjusted after loosening the Torx screw in the middle. I had to tweak mine to get the boot lid closing perfectly.

Is it possible to lock the car with the boot open? 

Hi there.

I have only noticed recently the I am getting water on the runner seal where the boot lid closes and it's night to jump the seal as when I am parked the back driver side is the lowest corner as park on a hill. Got in today and tested the seal with boot closed and can slip a piece of string paper between lid and seal. I am thinking it needs a bit more tightening of the boot lid to te seal so from reading the above is there adjusment on the latch mechanism that would allow me to move it up a tad so when it closes it closes tighter. Its a 2017 octavia hatch. Otherwise I'm thinking it's getting in someplace up the lid like the bellows ducts or that sort but think if I star by tightening the latch mechanism as it could do with a tweak. Thanks fir any input.

Apologies for the typos in previous piece. Took off the bot liner to get better look. Nothing coming from the upper parts. But I notice that the seal is much tighter on the passenger side over the curve by the lights than the driver side and def could do with closing Tighter overall. Lie the lid is twisted out if shape slightly. I'm thinking increase the boot stop grommit on the passenger side a little more than that of the driver side might sort the slight twist and even up the pressure on the seal on both sides but still need to pull the bottom by bumper down. Is ther adjustment on the receiver

Is that the piece on the car frame. Just to be sure before going rooting. Thanks
