electric boot closing issue

i have a c200 and the boot started only opening up half way and sometimes it didnt close all the way and was about 100mm from shutting. I read on the forum about adjusting the springs abit which i have done and it has cured that issue about opening but it still wont shut near the bottom before the soft close takes over! i did lubricate any joints what i could see. Any ideas what i can do next please

YA ! i fixed mine !
you need to re-sync it.
1. open the boot (trunk) to the height you wanted, keep pressing close button for like 5 seconds. release and it will close.
2. go to vehicle boot (trunk) setting, toggle to ON
3. repeat #1
4. go to vehicle boot (trunk) setting, toggle to OFF
5. repeat #1
6. toggle to ON
7. repeat #1
8. toggle to OFF

now it should open all the way, and close all the way. i tried like 6-7 times, it works every time !

BONUS: did you know you can close the windows from outside just by keep pressing your thumb on the door handle?
