yeah myke is right, unwind the rubber stoppers on the tailgate a few turns, theyhave probably worked there way in slightly over the last year with all the slamming of the boot. that should stop it from falling back on the latch

if you unwind the slam mushrooms a couple of turns, they may help push the gate past it's catch.

:lol: were u jus pressing it and switching it off?

ah never thought of it like that, thats how mine runs

wat u running it off? im doin mine through my rear wiper which means it intermident (spelling) 1st pop if im not here have to wait a few seconds for the next one to open the boot :thumbs:

yeah thats wot i thought monkey, but not sure, annoying thing is i cant do the job on my own, need a gimp there to hold the boot lol. Kerry - i know how to fit one, cant guarantee it will work tho! haha

maybe the weight of the boot jus slams it back down? so your suspension things (cant rememebr what their called :lol: )that spring the boot up once its opened maybe worn out and weak?

lol,, cant blame the man himself for having a dodgy solenoid!

i have yet to fit a boot solenoid

was gonna ask ure advice dave........ guess not now :P

spring, or maybe a new catch?

Been running my boot pop on a solenoid for about a year, in the last 6 months it started poppin but fallin back onto the catch, meaning that someone has to lift the boot as i push the button. Anyone else experienced this? was thinkin of mounting a spring somewhere to stop it fallin onto the catch.
