Bootlid removal/ replacement

[Kevin37]

So I bought a new bootlid for my GTI and was talking to my brother about it and he asked if there was any difference between the boot of the 3 door and the 5 door.

So what I want to know is if I bought a door from a 5 door will it fit my 3 door golf? And does it matter if it's a gti boot or not?



EDIT

So I bought a new bootlid. But can't find a thread or guide anywhere that shows how to remove the bootlid?

Does anyone have a guide or can they shed some light on to what it involves and what I need to do it?

Also does it involve removing the headlining?

Hi @Kevin37

Your thread would better attract people who can answer your question if you label it something like "5dr boot lid fit 3dr?" Or something similar. . .

Same, I have a 5 door Pirelli Bootlid on my 3 Door GTI.

That's good to hear! That means this one will fit on mine then.

Thanks!

Edited the first post to ask for more advice about removing the bootlid

Any help is much appreciated

Just 4 bolts on the top and then the wiring needs to removed.

Thanks. Managed to figure it out from a few different threads and some trial and error.
