I was looking at a few threads earlier today and saw peoples boot lids coming up from the front rather than the back, or coming up onto one corner when its fully opened. Just wondering how this is done and how much it is and what is involved

If you mean the boot like LOUD1 has where it goes onto the back window, Im pretty sure I read he custom made them or had them custom made for him

there is how to videos on youtube but it might mate your boot leak

simple, there are 4 bolts that hold your boot lid to the rails. take the top one on both sides off, then replace it with a gate hinge from the arm to the lid. the weld a peice of 20mm box between the arms to give support so they dont move independantly. to make it tilt, remove the bottom 2 bolts (finger tight is enough) and it will swing down.

^ thankyou all. Is there a way so it doesnt leak?

Yeah leave it standard.

That was a popular mod in the States a while back. Worth searching OS forums.

Guys. If you cant answer th op question then please keep silent and dont post

A few people have done this and there was a quite on here a while back. Involved adding some hinges but was not that hard and was a good look when complete

^ Thanks everyone, will look at that thread now.

The how to guide is great, does anyone know how to lock it in place without having to add/remove bolts and stuff each time? That's just inefficient.
