Sometimes our boot doesnt shut you really have to slam it. Should some WD40 on the lock do?
Awaiting pictures x

underneath the boot door there should be to rubber mounts
twist them so they screw further in the door
This should help/work

no
If you open the boot and look up at the door itself, they are either side of it.
They are just little circle shaped pieces of rubber  :)

when you guys come across a problem do you actually try and solve it then and there or do you go straight to the computer and look up CC.com ?

i found my boot wasn't shutting properly on my car, i checked the latch for any adjustability and other obvious adjustment parts and sure enough i saw the 2 rubbers on the boot lid and hey presto the problem was sorted !!!

come on guys, use abit of initiative ::)

Had the same problem, screwed the rubbers in and the boot closed nicely.
But then when ever I go trough a hole it starts to make noise.
Any cure for that?

iv messed around with mine for ages, screwin them in and out, sideways and upside down. i can get the lid to shut without slamming but then it doesnt sit flush and when im goin round a corner or over a bump the lid rattles like fook, which is almost as annoying as my rubberless exhaust.

any ideas?

I know it's a while since this was posted but have you managed to sort it out ie the boot rattle?

I had this problem after i adjusted mine, I found that if i screwed them right up, the boot would close but it would rattle a little. So i slowly tweeked them down slightly on both sides until you get to a sweet spot where it closes first time but the rubber bits are supporting the boot :)
