Hi guys

After getting a few parts put on my car, and requiring the power to be disconnected ( which it is still disconnected for the time being)

My boot wont shut. Its like the little doover on the boot wont click back and lock.

Is there power to the locker on the boot itself?

Or its just shat itself.

Try adjusting the little 'hook' thing that the boot holds onto. If you undo the nut holding it, you can adjust the hook up and down. Pull it up so that it's easier for the boot to hold onto it. I remember when my hook's nut was loose, it just dropped down and my boot couldn't grab it to lock.

Hope that made some sense.

When i took my rear spoiler off i must of drop a nut in the actual boot and made its way to the boot lock and jammed it.

My bloody luck i tell ya what. Only realised when i took the lock off this morning.

      yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)

      Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions

      Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣

      Is the toolbox that damaged the boot seal the same item that fell on the car during the storm a while back?

      Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…
