Noisy power tailgate

[P M R]

Hello, this is the message sent to my local Dealer.

"To save a visit, could I please request your advice to resolve a small issue on my UX.

The power tailgate is making a creaking/groaning noise when opening and closing. The car sits in the sun most of the day and this only happens during warm  weather. I have tried lubricating what I can see as moving parts, with silicon spray. This worked and  the noise went away but for only approx seven days.

Your advice please as to where to spray and what  type of lubricant to use would be most appreciated. When the weather is cool there is no noise whatsoever.

Thank you for your help,"
 

 

Any comments from other owners would be most appreciated.

 

Thank you,

Paul

Hi Paul

Did you manage to narrow down which part is making the noise by just spraying one bit at a time until the noise disappeared?

Try some dry PTFE lubricant. Last a lot longer and wont attract dirt / dust
