Hi, did you ever get an answer to this question? My trunk closes half way and goes back up, it feels like it's struggling a little on the way down.

Check your liftgate pump for proper fluid level. It is located in the spare tire compartment, beneath the carpet, within a plastic casing on the right side. Just unscrew the reservoir nut and add fluid until level with the plus sign (+) on the reservoir.

You can refill with any hydraulic fluid (hydraulic lift jack fluid works well). Be sure to open & close the liftgate several times after refilling; then loosen the screw to release any trapped air, and recheck the fluid level.

 

thanks Miguk_Saram, I will give that a try and will report back. thanks again for your response!
