Boot opening

[sionie1]

Can anyone tell me if the boot should open more than just a short crack when I press the remote opening on a GC? All the other cars I have now have fully opening boots from the remote so I've been pondering this over the weekend. I can't remember it ever doing it, but that's not to say it didn't and I've now just forgotten?

That's all mine have ever done.

Nope, just the crack.

Thanks for the replies, that's solved that little mystery then.

Its the italian way - a crack - there the boot is open, what more do you want? The Italians know that not every trip benefits from matching luggage........and certain trips, require a little more discretion (mafia bodies etc)

Those German cars - so keen to show your shopping and luggage to the world at the click of a button...it is so vulgar....

Whatever floats your boat I suppose.........

You can.

 

[CatmanV2]

You can.

My bonnet needs to have its little nub pulled before the crack opens at the front. Dunno if that's the same for anyone else?

I think you have to press and hold the button

I thought it needed a good tweaking 1st, but it can be difficult to find in the dark and that it's not in the manual..

Not the button on the fob, there's a button at the front of the body that pops up when correctly prepared. If one handles that correctly, the crack opens.

Occasional lube should be sufficient. I guess it depends on what manual? Certainly I've seen it documented many times.....

It's so satisfying when that happens...

Clearly you need to practice with the correct button

 

[Felonious Crud]

Punch it open, chuck your stuff in and leave. What's so bloody difficult about that.

 

[sionie1]

I had heard that some ladies have practised hard and are able to find and tweak the rear crack button, should a gentleman require it. This is what I've heard anyway

Oh you little charmer you.....
