My boot lock wont engage. Even if I slam it or put my 220lbs plus frame on it. However it does click if I push it using a hard object to simulate the lower pin.
The chap in tne BMW spares place suggests I need a new boot lid because it has a hairline crack near where the upper catch is bolted on to the boot. He siad the same thing happened to him. He tried to weld it but it didnt work right.
2nd hand boot lid 40 GBP Fitting 40 GBP Painting 100 GBP1994 E36 Coupe. Looks like its time to find it a new owner ...
Any short term fixes? I think if I could put some tape or solder on the upper pin or under the catch ? I reckon this is less than 1 mm. Causing the problem.
