Hi all,

My MY16 Octavia RS started having an intermittent fault with the tailgate only rising about 1/4 of the way / 10 Degrees or so before stopping. The weight of the tailgate would them cause it to close again by itself. It now does this every time. It also started having issues latching intermittently when it was lowered however having a ticker with the latch itself it now seems to be latching fine and fully closing the last 20 or so times. Has anyone else experienced this issue and
is it common or is there a known fix for this? Its out of warranty now so id like to try to see if i can fix it myself if simple before taking to a dealer.

Thanks
Chris
