Locking the boot without a lock.

Postby MrOizo » Sun Dec 03, 2006 10:49 pm

anyone know how to lock the boot without a lock?

the corolla i have now doesn't know how to close properly/latch and need something to to make it secure.

Kinda taking a risk leaving it outside tonight but that's what i gotta do :O

looks to have some sort of a rear end once upon a time so i think that's why things don't really work at the moment.

Is there something like bonnet pins that i could use for the boot?

Or go from inside the car and tie the boot shut from the inside? Make yourself a bracket that bolts to the inside top of the boot and to the boot somewhere itself and climb through and lock it :P :lol:
