Automatic boot lifting - hatchback

Followers

31 July, 20214 yr

I was interested to see on one of the Fabia forums a thread about adding springs to the boot/tailgate lifters to make it lift by itself when ‘long click on the fob’ released.

Has anyone has attempted to do this mod on the Octavia hatch with any success? My initial thought was it’s a bit heavy.

2017 L&K Hatchback tailgate issue

Smudger2 · 18 hours ago18 hr

2013 Yeti TDi L&K Boot Floor height with/without spare wheel?

billzeebub · 22 hours ago22 hr

I have a 2013 Yeti with the spare wheel under the boot floor. I understand this raises the boot floor. I am looking to get rid of the wheel and have a lower boot floor, releasing more space? Hopefully?!..Does anybody know if a kit is available of what parts are required, or even if it is possible to retro fit? With 2 children every inch of extra space would be appreciated!
