Isn't electronic boot lid necessary?

Post by vladimirs »

Hi,

I'm about to place an order for a new passat and I'm still trying to figure out the necessary extras for me. I did a test drive and closing the boot lid on the test drive model wasn't that easy. I had to reach into the inner part of the lid to grab a handle and then pull the lid downwards with enough force to latch on. I'm 6 foot / 150lb and even for me that required some force. The other way was to grab the outer part of the lid and push it down. Is that how all B8 owners are closing their boot lids? I hope I'm missing something. Smacking the boot lid this hard each time couldn't be healthy for the rear electronics.

There is an extra called electronic boot lid which I assume is a button on the inner part of the lid which when pressed will softly close the boot lid and I'm wondering if it's something a lot of you have.

To summarise, I'd like to know how you close your boot lids. :mrgreen:

Thanks
