[47p2]

Well it seems all was not well with my boot soft close again as it decided to not pull down when closed. After a bit of a poke around there seems to be 3 components to this system.
1. The latch on the lid
2. The pin mechanism on the floor
3. The drive motor somewhere in the battery compartment

My symptoms were the boot went down the latch flipped over the pin but the lid would not pull tightly closed.

Trying to find the fault is a major pain in the butt, what with 3 components to deal with and nothing responding. The latch would open when pressing the remote fob button, the interior boot latch button and the boot lid button. When I had the lid open I tried flicking over the latch to see if it would engage the pull down pin mechanism but nothing happened so this led me to believe the latch was faulty. It must have a microswitch inside to send a signal to the motor but without removing it for inspection I was at a loss. So plan B was to hit the latch with a screwdriver handle a few times and low and behold it worked. It's now dowsed in some WD40 and been operated a dozen or so times and all seems to be working again


Does anyone have the instructions for removing the latch?
