I?m really confused now, have people mixed up closing tailgate and tailgate cover ??

I have Euro E61 535D - 05 with automatic tailgate operation. I has bothered me from the beginning that cover is not closing automatically.
Now you guys are telling me that it should work....

Can someone please confirm this that the cover (Not tailgate) really CLOSES automatically and check the mechanism how it works because I did look at it and don?t figure out how could it work impossible

Or there might be some differences in newer production versions
Video would be nice also

I was very intrigued by this post, so went out to check out my car. And guess what, the cargo cover moves with the tailgate. This definitely was not checked on the option packages. It is hard to describe, so I took a video:

Hi Gundo,

Very nice wagon you have there. Great colour. Would you share some photos. It's so seldom to see a nice E61 over the pond.

Cheers
Marco

Well thank you for the compliments - loving this car so far. There is a night and day difference compared to the A6 Avant we were driving. It's got more power, better handling, and far more comfort.

This car is pretty rare here in the States. Americans seem to love giant, fuel guzzling SUVs (yes, we've got one of those too) and overlook the very competent wagons that are being manufactured. When we venture outside of this part of Connecticut, it becomes even more rare.

Here's a couple of photos taken on delivery day:
