My Boot will not open properly
I've already splashed out on a new lock as well as Bump Stops but when I operate the switch from inside the cockpit, by the time I reach the rear of the motor, I find that the boot has not opened fully. The only way I can open it is by getting somebody else to open it whilst I flick the switch.

Re: My Boot will not open properly
You can adjust the bump stops with an allen key and pull them out (stronger) or push them in (weaker). Have you tried that?

Re: My Boot will not open properly
I have the same issue as you. I just hold the boot unlock key when I'm in the back to pull it open.

Re: My Boot will not open properly
Agreed… bump stops.
If memory serves me correctly the facelift has different ones, were they replaced with the correct ones?
Emerald struts do a kit that allows the tailgate to be opened from the key, they also have a YouTube video showing the installation but this also shows how the adjuster works so may be worth a look.
Hope this helps
