Boot not shutting properly

[Chas88]

I've just had the boot seal replaced on my car and now the boot doesn't seem to shut properly. If I press down I can get it onto the catch but by just lightly pulling the boot up it unlocks it again. Any ideas for an easy fix to save me taking it back?

I`m assuming the boot catch will be the same as a Griff. Just undo the two bolts that hold the lock on the boot lid and lower it a touch. The new seal will probably be just holding it off a little too much.

Yep, BTDT - my Chim's bootlid always needed a hefty slam to catch the erm, catch, adjusted as per the above and everything's fine.

DO however make sure not to overdo it - too high and it won't release which could really ruin your day given that you will have to refuel the car sooner or later...

Cheers guys, that has sorted it nicely.

As above and here's a pic of the catch and it's 2 bolts

I could e-mail you the contact details of the watch and the company that did it for me if you like.
