Power Tailgate Adjustment Help

carlos50 · 09-07-2012, 01:45 PM

Hi all

The power tailgate / trunk lid bounces somewhat when closing, its helped a bit if I open the doors to let the air out but in general it bounces when shutting and I get some vibration / rattles at times which I'm thinking are related.

When I bought an E53 X5 new in 2002 I had to take it back to have the tailgate adjusted for that very thing and although not powered it made a heck of a difference.

Not sure if my extended warranty will cover it and to be honest I can't be bothered with the dealer saying its normal so was hopeful of getting some info of you guys and having a look myself.

Anyone?

Thanks

Carl
