How to Open the Trunk of an Older Volkswagen Bora?
2 Answers
The Volkswagen Bora trunk can be opened in the following ways: 1. Press and hold the trunk button on the remote key to open it. 2. There is a switch on the driver's door that can also be used to open the trunk. The functions of the car trunk include: 1. A fully equipped tool kit: The trunk contains a spare tire, jack, headlight tools, warning triangle, first aid kit, etc. Generally, these are standard equipment in cars, but many models may not have them all. 2. Luggage storage net: While driving, you might encounter the problem of small, fragile items being hard to place. Even if arranged neatly, they may get disorganized or damaged by bumps. With a luggage storage net in the trunk, these concerns are eliminated.
When driving my old Volkswagen Bora, I'm used to operating the trunk directly with the remote key fob button—just a gentle press easily pops it open. If the remote isn't available or the battery dies, locate the mechanical keyhole near the rear emblem, insert the physical key, and give it a twist to unlock. Inside the car, there's also a convenient feature: a lever beside the driver’s seat or on the door panel—pull it to automatically release the trunk. However, keep in mind that older car locks are prone to rust or jamming. If it won’t open, try wiggling the key or checking the key battery’s lifespan. Regularly applying lubricant to the keyhole prevents rust and ensures smooth trunk operation.
