Soft Close on E-Cab

Soft Close on E-Cab

Postby skunky » Sat Oct 06, 2012 3:52 pm

Hi fellows,

Anybody done soft close to their doors? The doors on my E-Cabs heavy, it needs a little more push to get the doors to close....sometimes....too much. The sound obviously is crushing.

I've took a ride in a friends 528 and was told it is a standard fitment, ie. the actuators and motors are all there but however, it wasn't activated in the system. All he did was send it to some workshop to have it activated by accessing the maintenance mode. That can be done for his powered trunk as well. So for the BMW folks, good idea to check if you've the motors in it, activation is cheap as opposed to sending it to PML thinking they did a full fitment for u but its just programming.

Anyway, I'm sure my car doesn't have it. Anyone knows where to install a aftermarket one? C&C quote is above the skies.

The S class ones as mine is the W220, its fitted together with the Door Lock, does not coast cheap, damage $780 for my driver door parts only.

Its not easy to fix on as well.

I can check with my list of workshop if they can do for u guys or not
