Holes in my boot

Post Tue Apr 26, 2005 11:48 pm

Giving the boot a tidy out this afto and once again noticed the 2 holes in the boot side covers and have remembered to ask the pros what they are. On the LH side, in the middle just above the boot floor level there is a small round hole punched in the top of a raised moulding. On the RH side about halfway up the rear of the wheel arch there is a dome shape cut in the material.
WTF are these for?

The first one is for the end of the wheel brace handle (the other end of the handle clips into a small plastic clip lower down).
The second hole half way up, is for the towing eye to sit in.

Cheers,

Thanks Ian. Never noticed the plastic clip before!!!!!!!! The second (hole) is on the RH side and is dome/arch shaped with no actual material missing.
