Boot internal trim piece - how to get the bloody thing off !!!

<< < (4/7) > >>

182_blue:
this is 2005 lock , 2008 lock is same  number but with a D on the end

Hurdy:
The only way to adjust it back in is to put spacers between the 3 seating points on the car and the latch mechanism, but you'd have to take it all off again :scared: :rolleye:

Norbreck21a:
Thanks guys.

Hurdy, wouldn't that mean that the rubber seal on the back of the handle would no longer be in contact with the car and would thus let water in ?

Hurdy:
you are right :ashamed:

I Have my old one in my hand now. It is a 3 ridged seal affair, so you are right there is no way to adapt it. It also has to small locating latches at either side that I'd forgot about and so you cannot even use a deeper seal as it would mean that you couldn't locate it correctly.

Norbreck21a:
No worries Hurdy. Thanks for having a look anyway.
