4.5 Rating 14 Reviews

Left Hand Boot Lid Lifter KitHave you got a rear spoiler, stainless boot light, saddle bags or such like fitted? Now you'll find that the puney springs on the boot lid will no longer lift it open. Well, here's the solution! Our boot lid lifter will automatically raise the boot lid once the catch is released. This one is fitted to the left hand side of the car as you are stood at the back looking forward. Can be used in conjunction with the right hand version for handling even more weight.Fits all Mk1, Mk2 & 2.5 models, 1989>2005Fitting Instructions

“Ordered in bank holiday sale, shown in stock. Took a week before they posted it, hence only 4*. The kit, however, is excellent and easy to fit. Everything is well made and fitted perfectly. I used the jack brace to remove the spring rod from the right hand side, which made it much easier to release. Place a sheet in the boot to catch any metal swarf from the drilling of the hole. The boot lid now opens fully in a progressive way and stays open. Would recommend this.”

“Straightforward fitting (after I'd watched the youtube video others mentioned). A previous owner had fitted a spoiler so the lid did stay up; now pops up and stays up.”

“Instructions aren't that clear and once fitted, the boot doesn't open smoothly, there is a judder. It does open the boot though so I guess it does what it says on the tin.”

“Absolutely brilliant bit of kit! I have a rear upper strut brace and the piston fouled against it so I had to make a slight mod but it’s all good now! Again fast service from mx5 parts”

“Honestly a cracking piece of engineering-cleverly hidden, less than half hour to install, but the best bit is the German instructions translated into comedy English complete with sarcasm in points 7 and 11-even if you just read the instructions it'd be worth it!”

“Bought this to complement my keyless entry kit (you need a extra sol on the boot lock) eBay, be aware you do need the left one not the right side. Spare wheel in the way Mk 1. However, Jochen came to the rescue once again, with the correct part fitted I can sit in cockpit and pop my lid all day long!! 72 year old in my 23 year old mx 5”

“OK then.I don't usually do reviews but this kit should be called the Ronseal boot lifter. It does exactly what it says on the sales blurb! Took me an hour to fit, but I did it carefully and slowly, I could probably have chucked it on in 40 mins but I thought slowly does it best. The puny original bits of bendy wire that formed the original lifting mechanism are gone and the boot opens smoothly and quickly. One serious point that was made in the instructions; is get the drilled hole in the hinge arm dead centre or there will be tears! Otherwise dead easy to fit! Well done Scimitar.”
