4S CT rear boot/trunk opening on power up

[pauldyson]

This has happened on two different 4S CTs now:

Very occasionally when I get in and press the brake to power up the car the rear boot/trunk door opens without me doing anything else.

It’s more than just annoying as the car just about fits in the garage and so the door opens into the wall.

Anyone else experienced this? Any way to stop it?

So, just thinking out loud in type! Just been out and tried this. If you close the tailgate from inside, by holding the button, then get out and loch before the tailgate is fully closed, the car will lock. However, on re entry, on power up, the tailgate doesn’t move. I wonder if there is a ‘sweet spot’ where the car will lock with the tailgate not fully closed, and on power up decides to re-open.
??.
Ps. I love a forum, and especially these type of queries. Keep em coming even if I can’t help.

I think someone is messing with you.

That might be a possibility if I didn't live half a mile from my nearest neighbour!
