I think they are saying it isn’t part of the vogue spec. How can I go back to them and say it is? 2017 Range Rover Vogue V6 Diesel

in the pdf i supplied in an earlier post it mentions this,

Check the software level of the tailgate control module (upper) and ensure it is the latest released version - if it is not, update the module


worth checking ? ... - .- -.

so it looks like one of the boot struts is being replaced. I guess that might slow the closure speed of the tailgate.

Soft close works if I close it slowly by hand. 2017 Range Rover Vogue V6 Diesel

Hi

Any update on this?

Both my upper and lower will soft close manually, but pressing the remote or tailgate buttons and it's a slam!!

It doesn't look like i have any alignment issues.

Thanks

Mine all works properly now. It was all about the alignment which required the hinges to be moved about until the doors closed with the soft close. Had to go to the body shop as the garage couldn't do it. 2017 Range Rover Vogue V6 Diesel
