Anybody know what the nylon retracting strap is? (on the inside left of the trunk lid) Is it supposed to stop the trunk lid from overextending? If so, mine may have stretched or something because it is not stopping the lid. The hinges are. Or, am I completely missing the point of the strap? If it is supposed to stop the lid as it opens, can you tighten it somehow?

Thanks for any help.

I think it's to help it auto close as you lower it.

No, it looks like all of the power latching mechanism is in the latch portion, the nylon strap has nothing to do with it - just contains lighting wires and camera cables.

I was worried the hinges would get ripped out eventually, so I got in the habit of grabbing the handle on the inside right so the trunk wouldn't bang open

That makes sense. A very nice wiring harness for the accessories attached to the lid. I'm glad I didn't start pulling panels trying to tighten the strap before asking. Thank you for the help.

that was good info… the strap looks as if it pulls it down… who would've thought it was just for the wires.
