How to Repair the Tailgate of the Audi Q7

Model: Audi Q7 4L, MK 1 - Years 2006-2015
Part: Body

In this short video, we can see how to perform a nearly cost-free repair: the tailgate lowers but raises again after being closed. It involves identifying a small spring that may have broken or bent from slamming the tailgate too hard when closing. To access this small component, it is necessary to disassemble the metal stop located at the base of the tailgate: it is very simple, just remove three screws and a connector, and this way, we expose the lock. Here we find a small spring that may have broken, bent, or otherwise damaged: just replace that (it costs a few cents) and reassemble the stop. Operation completed.
