This seems to be a common problem. Mine has stopped working three times, including once whilst under warranty. I think it is something to do with the strut as sometimes it works and others it doesn't. I have replaced the motor twice now and redone the potentimeter , but still is very hit and miss. Shame really.

I’m surprised with your time on the forum you’ve not seen the same posts I have as I joined later, they definitely exist and I’d be looking in the technical troubleshooting section rather than in this more general chat.

i have look and there is only problem with closing taildoor-potentiometer,my is ok now,but nothing i didn't find about struts or opening of door
and i think this is strut problem,left one with spring

also i work on ship,so i don't have net lot of time and when i am home,i am busy,today i look all afternoon for this post and nothing,but i find that it is definitely right strut,it is suppose to be 1000n,no pressure at all and i found it only on one place for 106 euros and delivery is 8 weeks,so if you can help,help with this
