Lower Tailgate Release

HI

Dont know if this annoys anyone else but when the tailgate is lowered and you rub up against the switch you can hear it activating.

Stil doesn't stop your trousers getting all sh*tty with road muck though if you lean against the lowered tail gate.
I never realised that LR went to the trouble of fitting a switch with a painted icon on it under the rubber! How pointless is that? 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - itâ€™s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

Is it just me that finds that guys voice pretty annoying, especially when he says "change" I'm pretty sure in every video he says, "chyaaaaaaaaaange"

Neat little idea though, might have to buy one. 2006 Mercedes CLS

2006 Range Rover Vogue SE Supercharged Java Black

I read this thread a couple of days ago and thought what's all the fuss is about, i've not noticed my tailgate CL motor whirring as I load the boot. So today I remembered to take a look at my switch which and I discovered that I don't have a tailgate rubber switch cover at all. I guess the previous owner threw it away for the same reason as reported.

I've now ordered the new style switch cover which should arrive next week

Cheers
