Hi,
My boot requires a bit of a slam to get it to close - I think it takes most people 3 times to get it to shut before the smack it a bit too hard.
Today I adjusted the boot springs so that it doesn't open so violently, or require as much force to slam down.
But I realised that the problem is more that it still needs a bit of a slam to get the boot to 'latch' and stay closed. It's not a huge deal, but it does require a good slam to get it to close.
Is there a way to adjust the latch or bump stops something to get it to latch more easily?
I tried spraying some silicone grease into the boot latch but it didn't make any difference.
Cheers!
Ed
