Im intrested in the automatic hatch closing mechanism as well. Any update to finding out about that?NVSteve wrote:I'm sure it still slams, but it has since day 1. It's become habit for me to close the last foot or so very gently. I'm still interested in that automatic hatch closing mechanism though.b_beder wrote:sounds good NVSteve. Waht about slamming?
What you're thinking about isn't what we're talking about. You have an 08, so you should already have it. It doesn't automatically raise/lower the rear hatch like in some minivans. We're talking about the mechanism at the latch. Our newer models have a mechanism that pulls the rear hatch closed if you gently let the hatch down. On older models, you have to kinda slam it.volvite wrote:Im intrested in the automatic hatch closing mechanism as well. Any update to finding out about that?
