projects Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 so after being rear ended in the stagea. the boot latch motor and switch now works perfect, when i brought the car you had to open the window and then the boot from the inside. So one positive out of the accident.

Duncan Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 haha can you post up a DIY with instructions for others with that issue? I removed the faded and cracked rain shield/wind deflector thingies. Unfortunately the weather strips under won't clean up OK, I think I'll need to replace them sometime.

Commsman Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 haha can you post up a DIY with instructions for others with that issue? 1) Go out in wet weather. 2) Wait for dodgy driver to follow closely behind 3) Brake suddenly & get rear ended 4) Boot latch now works* * Individual results may vary.

scotty nm35 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 yes very loud. would a mid muffler make it less loud? Of course, although 'hot dog' mufflers don't do much. You need a 5 inch round body muffler at least, the bigger the better.
