Rear Tailgate Storage on UXV 450i
« on: January 21, 2017, 07:59:14 PM »
Has anyone had any issues with the lid for the tailgate storage not staying shut on these UXV 450i? Mine on the left (drivers) side doesn't want to stay shut. I haven't tried to adjust the rod that latches to the plastic tab inside there yet. But I am thinking I may have to screw some type of small external latch on the outside of that lid and the plastic? Anyone else running into this? Its not the greatest design IMO.

   You can't just slam it shut, you need to be sure it catches on both ends. It took me a few tries to get the hang of it but now I don't have any issues.  A possible adjustment may be needed.

Yeah I think I just need to put a bend on the rod in there is all.

    I looked thru the service manual and no particular adjustment is shown, however it is a very simple system and your probably right just a little tweak on the latching bar will probably do it.
