Question Boot catch cover

Hello and thank you for reading this message.

Vehicle is 2006 (56 plate) V50 1.6 petrol.

The boot catch cover no longer springs upwards back into place. Photo attached. Search on internet suggests cover is integrated as one unit with base catch, but not sure and cannot find photos / part for just the cover. Looks like a spring has gone, that is all.

Is there a repair for this?

Thank you.

Yes. Easily repaired. The flap pops out. Look underneath it for any sign of the little spring that keeps it up.

Part codes

Spring - 8687427
Cover plate (flap) - 39854371 (for interior code 5X0X/5XEX)
Cover plate (flap) - 39854373 (for other interior codes)

Chances are you only need a spring unless the flap is broken.

Thumbs up

Thank you very much for your replies. Thank you Iainmd for the information. Just now have to find out how to pop out the flap. Alas, if there is no 1-2-3 guide available the result is normally that I break something! Thank you again!

Sorry did not reply earlier. Had not set up notifications.
