What do you mean by "standard or user assisted"? The standard car does not have a powered tailgate, and I'm not aware of any official MG option for one.Mod or update? Can you confirm this is standard functionality or user assisted?
Look at the removed trim, bundle of wires and laptop in the boot. It's clearly a modification. One that I wouldn't waste anytime on either, never really understood the need to add all that weight and complexity for such a simple quick task.
So true, I could open and close the hatch 5 times faster than this contraption.Look at the removed trim, bundle of wires and laptop in the boot. It's clearly a modification.

Is there a way to adjust the preload of the springs? I bought my MG4 used, and the previous owner had installed an electric tailgate kit. Overall, it works, but 9 times out of 10 when opening, the tailgate isn’t pushed out far enough. After a few seconds, the car pulls the gate back in, as if it thinks I want to close it. I’ve already tried increasing the opening speed, but that hasn’t solved the issue.
Thanks, but this only addresses the struts from the factory - In my case I have completely new ones for the electric tailgate.Have a read here;
With the onset of colder weather I have noticed that the gas struts ( either one or both ? ) don't seem as energetic and are not opening to the full extent on some occasions. The car is 15 months old or 19 months from build date, I'm guessing there is only a years warranty on such items , but if anyone knows different or has had a similar experience of this and knows if there are any patten parts available . I don't mind changing them myself , not really on the best terms with the suppling dealer so the less I have to do with them the better, unless its a freebie!
