So in my attempts to install a rear video camera I had to remove the softclose motor that covers the button.

 

I haven't managed to piece it back all together and therefore the trim is still undone but not blocking anything. However when I assembled it back together again, I have the feeling when I tested it, it was working fine...

 

Fast forward maybe 30/40 open closes later some of which were interrupted half way, some were blocked by an obstacle, some were stopped by the key being too close, and some accompanied with beeps I dont normally recognise, I think it isn't operating as it should.. it just closes to not a massive thud but not the elegant way I feel like it use to be... 

 

The benefit of having all the trim off at the moment is I can see the internals and I can see that the motor tries to turn and then stops, from what I can only assume is because it's already closed.

 

My question is, just like there is a height setting, is there a close position setting as well? It suddenly started raining and I had my lamp in there, so rather than dismantle everything in torrential rain I closed the boot to as close to as it would close (after several tries) which may have inadvertently set a "new" close position.

 

Alternatively does anyone know where I can proceed from here? There isn't much information around on the web.

Don't forget that with the trim removed, the bootlid is lighter and less noise insulated
