My tailgate is not closing flush anymore. It used to close then have a final closure.
Does anyone know how to adjust?
If not then back to dealer under warranty, just a hassle with the Covid crap.

 

Try the ubiquitous battery reset!
I know that the last time I disconnected the battery the powered tailgate didn't work even after reconnecting the battery and I had to reset the tailgate by manually lifting it to the desired position (in my case fully open) and manually closing it all the way, then it worked perfectly.

 

Thanks Oz but I can’t close it fully by pushing down.
Looks like dealer job.

 

Try this:
1. Open with button.
2. Push into full up position after mechanism stops moving.
3. Then gently pull down until hatch is fully closed.
4. That will reprogram if you have a programming issue.
If that doesn't work the latch needs to be adjusted.

 

Thanks but no joy.
I can’t figure out what role the two outer things do. The ones you can screw on and out.
Cant see how to adjust the metal central latch on the tailgate. One nut appears to do nothing while the other looks like it will move the rear.
Was hoping someone knew the trick.
Dealer I guess.

 

Can you push the hatch down to where it should be, or does it hit a hard stop before it gets there? If it hits a hard stop, screw the spring loaded plungers further up into the hatch. If the hatch can be pushed into place, the latch needs to be tightened. That is done by turning the nut counter-clockwise. (Counterintuitive just like the bonnet hatch).

 

Thanks, will try in the morning. Too much wine right now!
It still begs the question as to how the system works. What are the screw in things for?

 

I'm fairly sure the screwy things are just bumpers to absorb the shock of the hatch closing to the first detente, before the motors then pull the hatch fully closed (the bit yours won't do!).
My hatch/spoiler bottom edge originally didn't sit straight, one side was lower than the other by about 2 mm (very very common on F-Types).
So I thought that by screwing the bumper out on that side it would line up better, but it made no difference at all. I screwed the screwy thing almost all the way out, just before it threatened to fall right out (it gets very wobbly at that point!) but it still made no difference to the closed height/level.
If you look at the plastic trim at the back of the boot/trunk that the hatch closes onto you will see a round black rubber stopper on each side, about 2 cm in diameter. These are what the screwy things bump up against, and I fixed the uneven hatch by pulling the low side one out (comes out easily with a trim removal tool) and sticking some Velcro on the underside, about four pieces, then putting it back in place. Every few months I renew that Velcro as it gradually crushes too flat/thin with use.
Maybe just maybe if you raise those stoppers on both sides your final hatch close might work again? But of course that could also stuff up the alignment!

 

Not having much luck with this.
There are 2 nuts, there must be a JLR method of adjustment.
Why would it suddenly change?
Dealer I guess.

 

Something probably broke.

 

Dealer fixed this. With the Covid crap I was unable to find out what was done but this is the setup now...
