Issue Closing Boot

Hi, I took delivery of my new Kona (Premium SE, 1ltr) on 2nd March and I am finding that I have to apply a load of force to close the boot or it registers as still being open on the dash warning. Has anyone else had any trouble with this? Seriously considering having it looked at as the force needed to close it is incredible and can't be right.

Many thanks,

Pete

It's the bit at the rear of the car that opens and closes to allow access to the boot/trunk/storage bit. We got the Pulse Red with Black Roof; the car is amazing, you won't regret it!!!

Hi,
We picked up our Kona in December here in anew Zealand. We also found the boot required a lot of force to close. However it seems to have come right and Doesn’t seem to be an issue anymore.
