I removed my hatchpops (skoda struts, Leon ballpins and scirocco bumpers) last winter because it wouldn't open with the cold weather. Then I lost the two scirocco bumpers, so bought two new ones and decided to reinstall everything again last week.
Sadly it doesn't open anymore. Only when I manually opened and closed the hatch (pumping the struts).
But not when I didn't use the hatch for some hours...
How comes? I've tried the scirocco bumpers flat and with one click out.
Temperature is around 50 Fahrenheit in the Netherlands.
How/what can I adjust?
You need to adjust the bumpers out a couple more clicks. Giving the spring in them more travel, more power to pop the tailgate.
Jas
I've tried zero, one and two 'clicks' on the Scirocco bumpers.
With more clicks I think the tailgate isn't going to sit 'flush'.
How many clicks are you talking about? (I'm using the skoda struts, not the eBay ones).
