Superb estate boot issue

Featured Replies

Hi, my Superb MK3 estate has developed an issue whereby the boot doesn’t lock fully and I have to give it a shove. It seems to half lock but to lock it fully I have to push it manually, bit of a nuisance when I forget and have the boot rattling when I’m driving until I can pull in and sort it. Have any of you come across this in the past? Im wondering if it is just the boot locking mechanism

i had this problem on a suv at the dealer when I was in sales, car had had a small touch in the rear and the tailgate must have misaligned with the lock.

Try when is up, to "wiggle it" a little from side to side and see if it locks properly.

If not you might need to look into adjusting the latch, although it would be strange to "come loose", is not impossible. I had this happening on a 307SW many years ago ... the rattling waiting for the appointment to the dealer was hideous 😁
