Default Rear supspension rises while parked

I had a problem where the rear suspension would get stuck fully up when the temperature was bellow freezing. This was fixed by replacing the compressor. Now there is a new problem.

When the car is parked for more than a couple of hours, the rear suspension rises to fully extended. As soon as I open a door, it settles down to the proper height. It does this regardless of temperature, weather conditions, or time of day. It also does it on both uneven and even parking surfaces. There aren't any codes generated by this, we've checked multiple times.

Does anyone have any ideas?

I have the same problem. It came after replacing one of the rear air spring/damper sets. I think that a re-calibration would solve the issue but am looking for a trustworthy soul to perform said task.
