Hi guys,

Can anyone tell me if the load through hatch I have is missing a trimming panel or not as per the attached photo please? It looks like it is as there are clips on the frame as though a trimming surround should be clipped on. My parts department are struggling to find if it is missing one. If anyone with a non folding rear seat saloon variant can take a look for me and let me that would be brilliant. If it does have a trimming panel it would be even more brilliant if someone could take a photo for me so I can hopefully try to obtain one!

Thanks in advance!

Toby.

No they're supposed to be like that - nothing's missing.

159 boot is generally a bit rough and unfinished looking I'm afraid

Ohhh I see. The split rear seats version is all properly trimmed as is the SW - Thanks for that though.

Mine's the same. I don't suppose it matters so much in a saloon.

Mine is completely different.

Mine's nothing like that, it has a circular handle to turn with a pic of a padlock on it so did my previous 2.2

Could anyone post some photos of theirs that are different please so I can take them to the dealer and see if I can get the neatly trimmed one for mine!

Thanks.:thumbs:

The boot in the 159 is just shoddy.

What ever you do, don't look up at the parcel shelf
from inside the boot. The finish is appalling.

Mate, here's a snapshot of mine. Exactly as what Spyder mentioned.

The nicely trimmed one with the padlock is on the cars with the split/ fold seat option (standard on Ti)

The half arsed looking one is what the fixed rear seat hatch looks like - I have had both from new, thats what they look like, and yes, it does look like a bit it missing, but its not.

Also none of them have carpet on the boot roof - which the 156 has

Yes the padlock thing for the split seats to stop people
accessing the boot if they break in through a window.

Pity the seats fold then.





:lol;

or maybe it's to stop the kids fiddling with it?

Hi guys,

Thanks in advance!

Toby.

Don't come across many other Tobys, let alone ones who also drive a 159! Kudos :thumbs:

Exactly - when I first got my 159 the kids were forever fiddling with the hatch as they thought it was 'sick'. I got the car with the hatch unlocked, didn't realise it could be locked until a few weeks later. Locking it stopped them fiddling and the annoyance to driver was gone!
