It won't open from the remote lever (because the boot won't 'pop') so you'll have to use the key everytime, or have really long arms...

It'll stay open if the car's parked on the flat or with the nose parked downhill, but not if the arse is parked downhill at all and if there's any breath of wind blowing towards the bootlid when it's open, it'll slam shut while you have your hands/head/any other parts of your body reached inside the boot. And that will hurt...

@bb1boy the clips appear to be the same (I think I recall someone selling someone else a 4G clip and it looked similar but was just a different colour or something), the part numbers are different though. (4G: 74873-SM4-003 £3.03)

Ahhh, round these parts I see more 4Gs

5G's are way too modern for Norfolk folk...

Fixed for you

Had some knobber today that didn't understand how a roundabout worked, was in a 'right only' lane and tried to come off at the same exit as me (straight over) which is only wide enough for one car, he nearly drove into the rear quarter trying to force his way in then had the cheek to beep at me

then the mrs told me off for having a go at him

dunno what's wrong with her but whatever.

About 5 minutes later on the same roundabout but going back the other way some genius decided to take his time crossing on the roundabout exit with his dog trailing 1m behind him, he wasn't even looking at the oncoming traffic so I had to stop on the exit, then I got told off again for calling someone else a stupid rhubarb

Norfolk people don't get cars. They're like the pheasant in the road that watches the car coming to run it over.

Rant over

Well to be fair to them, it's probably quite difficult to drive when you haven't yet evolved past webbed feet..?

Lucky for me I'm not from here so don't have any issues, although I do worry I may develop them through association, like when women synchronise their monthlies.

Too much salt in the sea air in Cornwall, 4th gen's turn to dust quicker than a vampire in the sunlight..

At £3 odd you may as well get a new one. I can send you one off a 4th if you need it, but it's not going to save you any money what with postage etc.

Nope I don't have one nor have I ever needed one. No rubbing or anyhthing. Bars fit under a metal bracket in the middle.

Pictures would be extremely helpful!
