boot lock

[Mr Raw]

Guys can anyone help with the boot lock?I took my car to a roof specialist and he says it needs a new boot lock for slk 230 r reg, where is the best place to get one from apart from main dealer?I am unsure of the part i need, all they said was boot lock, i have seeen the pics of one but i am not sure if its the top part or the bottom or both?

The boot does not close properly and i had a play with it but no joy.

Try Euromerc, Nick is a member on this forum, if you post an ad in the 'Wanted' Section I suspect that he'll reply.

boot

Just to update on this, the boot now closes as normal but the light on the dash still says its open, so one min the roof will drop, the next it won't.

I have booked it in with Stuttgart garage to get it sorted as other locals all give differnt replys to why, some say its the top bit, others say bottom

WIll post back when its done.

Finally

Finally got it sorted.
Seems it was where the key goes on the boot, i had it sprayed a few months ago, and when he took it apart to mask it etc,it was then not closing properly.

Had it taken apart, cleaned and put back again, everything is now normal, but the warning on the dash was actually a bulb warning
