Title: Boot lid striker adjustment
Post by: Alex156 on September 01, 2015, 08:40:59 pm

Hi all,

This is no doubt a simple one to fix but it has me totally miffed so could do with some advice. Basically my boot is not closing securely and upon investigation it seem like the striker has come loose. I can see the 2 bolts I need to tighten but can't get to them as the striker plate is cover by a hinged piece of plastic.

Please can anyone advise on how best to access these bolts?

Many thanks,

Alex

You will have to remove the rear panel trim to access the bolts
