2008 trunk closure
I just bought an 2008 XK and am wondering about the trunk closure. I have to slam mine down "old school" from a bout 12 24 inches to close. Is this normal? My XJ I would push it closed and then the mechanism would grab it and close it tight.
I was told from the dealer this is normal but I have a hard time believing the XJ's and the new XF on loan has this locking mechanism and the XK does not. Thoughts?

This I can't believe either. Have a look at the rubber stops in the bodywork, they can be adjusted to make it easier.
Failing that, it may just require adjustment in the locking arrangement.
You could also try looking at another car in a dealers just to see.

I believe the factory did not offer a power trunk pull-down on 2007-2013 XK/XKR (X150) models (coupe and convertible).
The trunk lid on my 2009 convertible latches easily, without having to be slammed. If you have to really slam yours to get it to latch, it might be out of adjustment or damaged from a collision and not properly repaired.

Mine had to go in yesterday for a change of aspirator due to buzzing.
I asked them to adjust the boot / trunk for me and they did, much better now.
That said I had tried advice by Elindo above and that did make a dramatic difference, significantly reducing the frequency of the need to double slam!
