Bojmobile 0 Posted May 17, 2004 Hey guys - hope this isnt a really silly question - but I'm just back from shopping and as I took the shopping out the boot - I noticed a small plastic ring lying on the boot carpet - it seems to have been covering a hole in the boot door just left of the locking mechanism. there is an indentation on the chassis for the mystery bit to fit into - what is it? Does it have a purpose and what am I missing as I only have the plastic washer with no means of covering the hole with it. The hole itself appears to be lubricated (oo-er! :shock: ) but just goes into the back of the car near the license plate. Any help would be appreciated.

daves16v 1 Posted May 17, 2004 Sounds like the spring loaded plunger. AFAIK this opens the hatch slightly when pushing the lock button, an aide to opening I guess. The plastic ring holds the plunger in place and I guess the plunger has disappeared inside the hatch. The lubrication is waxoil, it has it on mine too. You'll have to remove the inner plastic trim panel to find the plunger. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
