No difference on my cars except the cab has a hydraulic lifter whereas both of the saloons don't.

cab boots are same as all cars, but the hinges are different. so i would imagine you would need to swap the hinges from your old boot lid to the new/replacement one then it will fit perrectly. Not sure if it will fit with the standard hinges as it may open too close to the roof cover flap and hit it.
