Mine is going in for two days 2nd and 3rd Jan 2024 for the modification, will let you know how it goes folks
I'm really looking forward to hearing what you have to say. The official instruction from Ineos to the dealers is to use an O-ring. My dealer went to a lot of trouble to convert this on his vehicle. It was not successful. Even after that, the buttons got stuck again.
50% of the time I have to use a bit of wooden dowel (so no damage) and a small hammer to tap the locks on mine so that they"pop" back out. Mainly on back door drivers side, but also drivers door and back door. Mine has also been supposedly fixed
But hitting it doesn't sound good. Since I got the vehicle at the beginning of April, yesterday was the 3rd time that 2 buttons got stuck. I sprayed WD40 each time. That worked well each time. And with this time interval, it's ok for me. This is a part of my personal maintenance work.50% of the time I have to use a bit of wooden dowel (so no damage) and a small hammer to tap the locks on mine so that they"pop" back out.

Done all of that too mate.
I have a similar product produced for Mercedes convertibles. Will give it a try and see if it works on the door buttons. Currently, a bit embarrassing having to clonk the door handle with a fold up umbrella anytime someone try's the drivers side rear door.
Yes, Driver door sticks every other use at least. Have to press it again to release. Going to give it some WD40 love today to see if that mitigates it. Haven’t had it as much with the others. But it has happened on the pass and the rear a few times.
WD 40 didn't last long for me. I have used a graphite spray designed for locks which seems to have cured most problems, but still this one door not playing ball.
Yeah this type of stuff is low hanging fruit that should be addressed in the manufacturing process.
Just like me. We can arrange to meet up regularly to lubricate together.
I guess that’s a German thing?Just like me. We can arrange to meet up regularly to lubricate together.
Lubrication or regularity?I guess that’s a German thing?
. Surprisingly good it was! Definitely a LOT lighter than my loaded up 5 seat with a roof and winch etc. and a LOT, LOT, LOT more economic Just make sure you use the right lube. Don’t use WD40 it dries out rubber components, use silicone spray.Lubrication or regularity?
How often do you have to re-apply? My front doors seems to be freeing up with use. But the rear back door which faces the prevailing wind and rain is becoming irksome. Yes I know
I'm now parking it the other way round.
