Just bought a bf f6 and When opening my boot, either by key or from inside, there's a loud quick knocking noise that comes from the rear boot lock and it docent unlock. After like 2 or 3 attempts it'll open up normally. Anyone had this problem or have an idea of what it could be???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't pop the boot up enough to open it and it chatters. Spoiler is to heavy for it. Got mine replaced under warranty at ford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would look at the boot gas shocks as if those are a bit tired then it wont try push the boot open as well as a new set, you will most likely also need new solenoid or actuator but that would be something to look at for a cause.
