Boot Lid (Trunk Lid)
The boot lid is the hinged cover of a saloon’s luggage compartment, opening below the rear window.
What is Boot Lid (Trunk Lid)?
It may be opened by key, button or a sensor under the bumper. Hinges or gas struts support it when open. Many lids carry the number plate light and badges. A remote boot release on the key fob is handy when your hands are full.
How it works
Hinges at the front edge and a latch at the rear hold it closed.
Why it matters for your car
A lid that does not stay open usually needs new struts. Check the seal for water leaks into the boot.
