#1 Boot lid casing assembly on lat 3.8 and 4.2

Post by ysmalkie » Thu Feb 11, 2021 8:39 am

The casing assembly on the late 3.8 and all 4.2 FHC was made of 3 parts:
BD22725 - upper casing assembly
BD23763 - RH side casing between upper casing and the door lock fixed with 2 clips
BD20782 - lower casing assembly fixed with 14 clips.

This is probably a good example of one fitted:

- Would anyone have photos of the pieces?
- Were the lower and and RH side casings made of millboard?
- what was the underlayer under the vinyl (foam or felt, like on the doors)?
- what was the upper casing made of?
- SNG sells BD22725 upper untrimmed casing - is is accurate?

Radek, talk to BAS. We have fitted theirs. The top is a thin piece of plastic trimmed in vinyl. These can be tricky to fit as the shape is slightly out. We tend to trim vinyl directly onto the top of the hatch.

Their kit also comes with the small piece.
