Is it a Boot or a Blank Panel to fit over the boot?

[thedjse]

Its a full boot with a piece welded across

[Dod]

Have you a pic? How and where isnt it fitting correctly?

[thedjse]

Not at the mo but as soon as i get home i will post one up

Thanks

[Dod]

Well talk me through where its not fitting. I'll see what I can do from here.

Right here we go guys its wierd to explain really its flush on the drivers side but not on the passenger side, you can get your hand in also at the bottom it seems bulkyer (not a word i know)

See if you can make it out from the pics:

It looks to be twisted!! Its obnviously a GM panel modified. Have you got it fitted? Try Twisting it out, failing that, I really dont know mate!

Wheres the lock?

You can adjust the lock position slightly to change how it sits when closed

[thedjse]

The lock isnt on at the moment guys it doesnt seem twisted but could be im pretty sure its a gm aswell dod

That boot looks to have been badly smoothed, i.e. the person that welded it up ran a bead around instead of loads of little tacks, the heat has severley warped the boot, either that or its been involved in a accident and someone has tried to repair it.

[thedjse]

Nah it has got little tacks on the inside

I put the lock on earlier and it fits better b ut still off so gonna take the window out and gentle hit it with an hammer into place :D
