Title: Boot solenoid fitted - 1 problem. Plz help?
Post by: MikeTDI on 28 May 2005, 20:24

Today ive had fitted a clifford solenoid to pop my boot lid open ready for smoothing my boot. 1 problem ive got is that when my car is parked up a very very slight incline I cant open the boot. The boot pops open but the hatchback boot lid wont open up due to the incline. When im on a flat surface or the car is parked UP the incline the boot lid opens fine, but when the car is parked DOWN the incline it wont open. Very frustrating as you can imagine. Can anyone suggest a remedy for this at all please?

used to get this with my mk2 with the key. Adjusted the rubber stops (the twisty things). Screwed them in so the boot lid sits in closer. Works fine now

You with me? :wink:

yer i was looking at them before thinking they could be the key to all this! Would fitting some larger ones work?
