I have just bought a 2020 First Edition 1.5 SE L Estate and in the boot I cannot work our what is missing from the side of the boot, looking at the manual and photos online, the sides of the boot seem to have one complete panel that is removable with a little handle in the middle of it.

 

Mine seem to have these fixed ones with little cutouts in them, I’m guessing they are meant to have something in them, and on the left, there is also a strap for something.

 

I have the boot with the two levels if that make any difference.

I have a brand new VRS with the variable boot floor and it the same. I was also wondering what the 'W' shapes were for!

Is it not to store the retractable cover !

Yes, I believe the cutouts are for the retractable cover.

AIUI, the strap is for a first aid kit included in those markets where carrying one is mandatory (so not in the UK).

So there are not some kind of insert that goes in it then, how does the cover fit in, does anyone have a photo of the cover fitted in the slots, as I can't work it out

While I’m at it: do you have a video or some instructions on how to tidy the boot cover away properly in these racks? I always struggle with it...

I asked ai how to fit it and it said you need to rotate it and it should go into the slots, this is the best I can do, but I don't know if it's correct.

This from the pdf version Owners Manual I have...

I can't seem to make mine fit like that with the main flap centred, mine looks different to the one in the guide, as I have two flaps, one small flap that goes towards the seat when fitted, this covers the gap between the roller and back seat (you can see it folded back onto itself in the photo) and the main large flap the is the actual cover, that goes in and out.

Underneath the main flap there are large plastic bits (that stop it rotating when it's in its normal place) that stop it going into the sides under the boot, if that makes sence

That’s how I do it, but I always feel like I’m putting it on wrong, that it’s pulling on the mechanism.
