DB9 Boot wont Close/Lock?

[toppo30]

Hi,

My DB9 boot wont lock, icloses ok but the locking mechanism wont operate. If I operate the mechanism closed by pushing a screw drive down to close it the mechanism operates no problem, eg opens if I either open the boot with the key fob or the handle on the boot, all seems to be working ok but when i shut the boot it wont lock into position closeing the boot.?

Anyone had this problem or know the solution?

Cheers

Did you get the problem sorted as I have the same issue?

The boot lock is straight off a Volvo and isn't really designed for the DB9.

It can come out of alignment. Take the boot lock and push it upwards/towards the car. Thats the lock on the car itself, the receiving end if you will not the part on the tailgate.

I had to change my boot latch as it kept sending message "boot open" while it was securely locked,it is indeed a Volvo part, but much cheaper from AM!!!! Only paid 34.58£ + Vat for it,it is a 10mm job to change it.

I've never seen one that cheap. Where did you get it from direct from AM?

It’s caught me out before on here.

Reviving this again.

Has anyone used a Volvo replacement part for the DB9 2005 boot lock?

If so what Volvo number did you use?

Volvo part numbers 31335047, 30799474, or 30799472.

Hi Mike I would get the genuine AM one

I changed mine a few years ago, very easy and you know a genuine one will fit.

It's £57 plus vat and postage so quite cheap.
