Hi my boot compartment doesn't open when pulled next to the driver seat, does anyone has a diagram or picture of how the wire is attached to the boot latch behind the boot?

Here ya go

thanks Bennoz!!! woohoo!!! now lets see where "64302" has gone LOL

ok i can't believe it, my boot has always worked, just that when i pull the latch, the boot has to be pushed up manually, i can't believe i've been using my key to open the boot all these years!!!

Question, does everyone's boot "pop up" when the boot latch is pulled?

i have the same issue... after being hit at the back my boot dont open unless someone is at the back to open it while i leave my hand on the lever or i use the key and push up while i turn the key..


is this the same issue?

yes correct! same issue as you fto04me hehe, just that it took me few years to find out that i can still open the boot by pulling the latch instead of switching off ignition and using key to open the boot!!! LOL

Does your boot stay up once opened?. I know the gas struts can sometimes not have enough to open the boot

no it doesn't stay up, is there a remedy for it?

Yep, replace the gas struts that hold the bootlid up. Hang on a sec though, youre running an aftermarket rear wing arent you. If its heavier then the original, that may be your problem right there. The boot lid should stay up with the boot open.It may also be why you are having a problem with the automatic opener. Best way to check if the struts are shot if you put the original back on to test (if you still have it). I have struts if that ends up being your problem.
