Good morning,
Has anyone a picture of the s3 boot lock striker plate, the part which is attached to the boot lid? I don’t think I have it amongst the 3d puzzle I am assembling, but then again, I don’t know what I am looking for…
Thanks in advance.
David.
Hi David,
This is my S4 which I think will be the same as your S3…
All the usual suspects list a replacement but it looks a somewhat simpler design…
Hope this helps.
Good morning David,
My S3 has the same one as in Roger`s photo. The fixing holes appear to be slotted for adjustment.

Thanks folks. Something else to add to the shipping list!
Now, the questions is, what did it come off originally? …
Excuse me reviving this post from January. My car is an S4 coupe and this is the best match I can find for how to adjust the striker plate. The only way I can see to do this is from within the boot. To be in the boot I need to lie on the spine of the body with my head and shoulders in the boot. I am an old man with a bad back. Have I missed something, or do I need to recruit a small young flexible assistant.

Rig up your phone in the boot with the video setting and a flashlight, pointing at the latch. You may need mirrors as well. Close the boot gently and see how well it does or doesn’t line up.
