Boot / trunk doesn't shut all the way
Hello all,
I am probably purchasing my first Bentley tomorrow, a '07 Continental GT, so I am new to this forum.
It has a problem when you autoclose the trunk. The right corner (towards the front) doesn't shut all the way. It stays up about a centimeter or so, and you have to manually push it down. I have heard that this is a common problem, but I'm not finding too much information about it here. I'd obviously like to get it repaired and my uncle is a very good DIY type of guy.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: It seems that it is not just the top right corner, the whole boot stops about a centimeter or so from closing, so you have to push it manually the last little way. Sometimes it goes back up once it gets to the bottom, I suppose it feels like something is in the way.

Just in case anyone sees this today (Friday the 20th) and can tell me what other problems to look for tomorrow, before I purchase the Bentley, PLEASE feel free and give me some tips. I'm all ears and forever grateful for your help!
It is an '07, imported to Europe from Japan. 6000 kilometers. Very nice inside and out.

Also,
Congratulations on your purchase, enjoy the ride !
Start a thread on your vehicle with any questions and post some pictures of the GT.

It was the day before I was going to purchase the car, so I was a little too eager.
I have many questions, don't you worry! heh

I have not had that specific problem but did have the boot lid "almost close and then come back up" problem. I figured there was too much resistance in the closing process so lubricated every moving point in the hinges with silicone spray and that solved the problem.
