Right I've had and really annoying creaking sound coming from the boot of my Astra, tried everything, got my nephew in boot with the seats down he said it was coming from the drivers side back pillow, then read on a few online forums to check the boot struts...

So i then got a brand new one from bullseye £25 I've put that on and now the horrible noise is back i cant wo

Hi All

I'm looking for a bit of help with regards to getting some custom boot struts made up to help push the boot lid open when I "pop" the boot using the key fob (this is for my 5 door astra).

I've looked on various sites but know nothing about any of the following questions they're asking...Can anyone assist and tell me what I would need to achieve the above?

Rod Diameter

Tube Diameter

Stroke Range

N Force Range

Panel (boot lid) weight

Cheers!

Hi all,

Mr Newbie here. I am looking to install an accessory in the boot of my 2013 J - 1.6 Energy model. For this I need to locate a switched/ignition + feed.

This car does not have a rear fuse box, which make like a little more tricky.

Can anybody direct me to an appropriate feed please with a wire colour(s).

Many thanks in advance,

Ian

Hi all
Im trying to fit a towbar to my GTC i have fitted the towbar but the light unit i need is a can bus system.
To fit this i have to remove the left boot trim/panel 
I have no idea how to do this. There seems no way to take this panel off. I cant even find a way to remove the boot shut trim panel.
Please help on this one.

Hi everyone. 
For 2 1/2 years I've had water entering into the car through the interior trim of the tailgate. Not sure how this is getting in but it's evident after it has rained heavily. 
The water seems to gather inside the tailgate structure and then enters the car through both of the two pop out plastic grey covers behind the tailgate lights. It's also come through the tailgate locking mechanism. The three drain holes are clear.
I notice it when the tailgate is opened fully and then the w

i really like this idea, stop dog hair from ruining the car, it gets everywhere

Good Morning (Just!)

I recall reading somewhere that early Astra's have a problem with the boot seams failing but I can't locate it. 

Reason for asking is my Astra has water in the footwell which was partly due to the high level brake light, which is now changed. 
However I am still getting water in the boot after rain and it appears to be coming out the seam on the boot floor at the back. I suspect this as when I wiped the water away I could see a drop of water re-emerging through the se

Hi All
Spoiler fitted and to be honest when it Arrived I wasn't impressed for the money. Had to flat the underside and spray (gloss Black) and Lacquer and still nearly binned it .But to be honest glad I kept going and finally fitted it this morning and to be honest really pleased with it ,it really transforms the rear of the car .

My siggy is a sports tourer so it has this extractable boot cover, and I believe it should somehow lock into place when it's fully extended. Mine however retracts by itself and never stays put. It feels as if some notch or hook has broken off. 
How does this work? Anyone got a pic of how the mechanism should look?

Hi all,

As my new car is for a dog's benefit, I'm keen to fit some led flood lights into the boot door so that when it opens, the immediate area underneath & behind is lit up like blackpool.

I'm looking at fitting up to 72W of led here, never mind dual boot lights & interiors coming on too.

I'm still looking at the position and placement of the floods, this could be simply 2 banks either side @36w or 2 banks either side at 18W plus a further 2 seated differently to light up further out from t
