Boot roller cover thingy

Post by Mark-RS » Fri May 11, 2018 7:37 pm

RS Specific ? I wouldn't think so but thought it safe to ask first :D

Was doing about 110 when I heard this almighty crack and whooshing sound from the back of the car. Much poo ensued until I stopped and eventually found what had happened. Appears the springs have gone and it no longer retracts enough to hold position. :audibash:

Lol @poo.

Are you sure it's the spring and not the plastic inside that snapped? Iirc there's a post to repair it (if you want to go down that route)

I just got one from a member on here breaking a car for £35 delivered. Keep an eye out on the classifieds. Something might show up cheaper than £100....

That's a good price. Paid a lot more for one for my Volvo.

Agreed. They are all £100+ on ebay. He had it up for £20 so I snapped it up and paid for postage.

How much are they from Audi? All the eBay ones seem damaged or tatty.
