Certainly. Personally, I don't have a problem closing the boot, but I am aware of others having used the same handle as that fitted to the boot floor/carpet.

Update:

I did some other mods this past weekend, including the excellent spy hole mod. Whilst checking the boot handle, (and therefore having the boot liner off), I checked where the trinket tray could possibly be attached. Unfortunately, I was visiting the in-laws and forgot to take the trinket tray to take measurements, etc. Doh! But there is a large rectangular opening in the boot skin above the lock mechanism that an looks ideal location and should be a deep enough recess for the trinket tray to be flush with the liner. The only issue is how to secure the trinket tray to the boot skin.

The other mod I did was fit the door handle finishers and boy do they look great!

Bit of an old post, but I did think of using the one from the tourer spare weel cover, or doesn't the tourer tailgate have a grab handle........



Part No 7 in here

sorry a bit of topic.

From the man that brough us the SLE. http://www.r75-parts.de/en/





Closing the boot of the Seventyfive may be a dirty thing especially on bad and rainy days. For the saloon there doesn�t exist any internal handle and even for money you can�t buy this helpful accessory from Rover or any known major vendors. The boot lid handle by T.Haag is the solution. It is a simple and handy part which is installed to the boot lid and invites to close the boot leaving the fingers clean. Especially owners with Sandstone Beige interior won�t miss this little piece of aluminium.
