Thanks this helped me out, my boot latch bolts somehow worked them selves loose so I had to remove the panel to tighten it back up, all done 👍🏻

Hi I've got mk5 but do you know how to find new cable from the latch? my looks like one core it's little broken... Actually my indicators doesn't flash when I'm closing. Changed lock-nothing changed. Fused checked. Thinking maybe that cable is the issue. Greetings-Tom.

[@Jay-uo1sn]

If I lock my latch and the trunk doesn't close will it be like if it's closed

[@angelatasker4310]

Hi is the just the 2 screws to remove the interior panel?
Coz by god that panel will not budge?

[@Servicetutorials]

Angela Tasker Hi! Yes, there are 2 screws for the panel to remove it, but then you have to unclip it.
