i guess this is not the problem but anyway; how high the lid i opened can be adjusted in Idrive.
How would you do that?

Adjust on the i Drive? not on a 04 model unless a power tailgate is an extra?

Confirm it is a common problem - think I am on my third strut on one side, second on the other ;-)
Also on second parcel shelf - the early ones didn't retract very well due to small plastic rollers, and using info off this site asked to be fixed. They replaced the whole thing, which was nice as the old one was a bit worn. Still doesn't retract regularly though
