It worked fine for the last 6 months, then one day it opened and would not close; we manually closed it. Using fob, or buttons, will still unlock it but it only open a few inches. My plan is to access the cables, disconnect them and see what warnings come up. If none then I will replace them with gas struts .

Mine have stopped working on my 2016 model although they never made any noise. I am not prepared to pay £700 for a function that will only last a few years so will investigate replacement with gas struts

I have had my 2016 Skoda Superb L&K for just over 6 months. Last week, after the tailgate was opened it would not power close and had to be shut manually. Since then the power operation to open and close has not functioned correctly. I have taken a look today and nothing looks amiss and I noted that: Opening. When using the key fob, internal tailgate button or external tailgate button: the lid unlocks and either opens about 2 inches or 18 inches. It then stops and 3 beeps can be heard. Closing. After manually opening the tailgate; if I press the the key fob or button under the tailgate then nothing moves and 3 beeps can be heard. The tailgate can be manually closed and on closing it locks. Looking for some advice on whether this can be reset, repaired or whether the electric struts need to be replaced in which case having read other threads I might replace with normal 'struts'
