Tried to do a video this morning but it wont pop nowNeed to get them Scirroco parts
Andrew, have you tried extending your current boot stops? IIRC it's an allen key head and if you turn them out abit further, it'll cause more pressure when the boot lid is shut, thus giving you a pop, worth a try as they are adjustable?

I tried that yesterday. It does improve it slightly but it still hesitates to open that first 3 or 4 inches until the struts can take over fully. Just got the Scirocco bumpers and fitted them. This definately appears to be the final piece to the puzzle, no hesitation at all, the springs give it the push it needs.
Just going to leave it an hour or so (always seemed to be worse after being closed for a while) and check it again
They should do, I've been to them many times. It was my local dealer put me onto them. They even asked me this morning if I was trade and I said no.
Not the struts Andrew, the little black bump stops that put pressure between the bootlid and the car, one either side of the bootlid. You can use an allen key to adjust them in or out, normally to stop the bootlid rattling.
Don't compress the Scirocco bumpers fully (as for the instructions for the Golf). I found that it still hesitated to open after the boot was closed for an hour. Leave the bumpers extended 3 or 4 clicks so the closed length of the bumper is about 35mm, which is slightly more than the OEM bumpers were. Just tried it with this setting and it worked okay (boot closed for an hour)
No, the Octavia Hatchback. These are the four options. A lot are going for the 550F if they have a standard tailgate, too much pressure and it could make it too difficult to close.
Don't know. As there are 4 different ones, without the part number it's impossible to tell.
