It isn’t as simple as the latches on the lower tailgate needing lubricating is it. |

I often used to move the black plastic bits on the boot latch by hand before closing it on my old one. Lubrication worked for a while but I just got used to doing it manually. 2017 Jaguar F Pace 25t Portfolio - still part of the JLR family 😀

+1 for Jamiehol's latches. My lower doesn't lock sometimes on the offside, needs relasing and shutting "firmly". That may be the adjustment, if any, and I'll feed back when I look further into it. See if the locks in the 'gate operate by "closing" them using a screwdriver or similar. If they don't cycle, it may be they need taking apart and cleaning/repairing or replacing.

Steve, my lower tailgate didn't shut on my last one or now this one so I just flick the black plastic bit as mentioned before shutting. Right hand side off the tailgate inside at the latch. No idea why they do it though? |

Had the same thing recently. As above, lifting the black clips up will allow it to shut, but a quick squirt of WD40 in both sides cured it for me |

Ashamedly I gave almost everything in my eye line a good blast, but yes, the mechanism, the black clips, anywhere I could see a gap in I gave a squirt, been great since |

I can’t match his £35, but this was the cheapest one I found with a 5year warranty and free next day delivery.
