Hey folks,

Since I bought my wagon, the tailgate's made this creaking/screeching sound when I close it manually. If I let the motor do the work, it works and sounds fine.

Does anyone else's wagon do this? Is it normal, and is there a fix?

Thanks

I thought were all electric tailgates on the S212s?

I'm pretty sure that's the case. In my case the electric tailgate works fine, but sometimes I'd like to do a slow test-fit close by hand. Also, anyone not familiar with the car tends to just grab it and close it manually out of habit.

I don't think its a good thing to force the tailgate, the motors don't like that.
