Mk5 boot pop (for dummy's)

(1/5) > >>

d.mellor:
The plan is to get my boot smoothed off, but 1st I need the boot to pop open as I won't have a handle...
Iv seen this done on here before with different struts etc. I understand that bit it's the vagcom stuff I need dumbing down.
My mate has vagcom but he only uses it for basic stuff like lights on the dash resetting.

Can anyone give me a simple version how to do it? Printscreens would be great..

Thanks

Thanks I thort I'd seen one somewhere. I dont want my boot to pop all way open, just enough so I can pull it open from the bottom, if I just fit the spring scirocco bump things will this do the job?
Thanks again

As far as I remember I think it will just off the bumpers yes, they give it enough to pop but not enough to push it so this should be up your street.

BTW A smooth MK5 boot went on eBay for £30, pretty sure it un-sold too, just needed painting.

d.mellor:
That's great, thanks alot.
As for the boot I think it's on edition38, if it's same one its the same one it hasn't got a window and still needs filler sanding down and painting, if just bought a normal one off eBay to play around with.
Where abouts are you based as iv just found out my mates vagcom won't work with my car as it's only a old version :-/
