 tsk tsk little things.....Next you want to try pulling up sharply and simultaneously releasing the hatch so that it rises by magic just before you stop.  I have to go back and forth from switch to hatch numerous times ,yanking first one side then the other before the hatch will begrudingly lift

Good one! My electric release is the only way in to the hatch because my key lock is all siezed up and I must fix it. |

There was me thinking I was a saddo doing the running round the car thing whooping and grinning like a Cheshire cat  Aka just this lunchtime when after 18 months of chasing coolant leaks, went for 60 mile blast parked up in the garage went back an hour later and guess what a dry floor, I said a bloody dry floor no leaks

You need not worry about over running it. Aerodynamics take over. After fitting new catch pins a while ago I adjusted it all up and went for a spin. I popped over a bump and the hatch popped. I was doing about 40. And it opened about 2/3. Childishly I thought maybe I can close of with speed??? Neddless to say it didn't work but it will close most of the way. Its the last 8-10 inches you cant get it to do an thr spoiler drops out of the air flow. |
