Video orientation shouldn't be a problem in 2023. There, I said it.

Sounds no different than my working original.

Ditto, 38k miles using at least once a week and still working!

Yup, still working. I lube the crap out of it and cringe/curl my toes every time I push the button! ?

You're fortunate that it still works. Mine lasted less than one month. It sounded like it would fail at any moment and it did.

My OG is much louder and harsher than this, and really "jerks" on each slate while closing. But it's been working that way since delivery and still working over a year later. I also religiously slide grease it.

It's been over a year since I had a working power cover. From what I remember, the original made a lot of clacking noise as it was closing. With the new one, I can hear what sounds like brushes as it's retracting.

I hear the same clacking in the videos I do my working original. ?

Yup, add me to this list……. 7XXX VIN, sounds exactly the same as these videos of the replacements.

I don’t lube-up like @jebinc though

You need to rub your belly clockwise, pat your head and hop in place at the same time.

It sounds like a mess of metal panels stacking into a tin box. Without a full redesign, it doesn't seem like much is going to change that.

Let's just hope it works reliably. OP, please get back to us in a few weeks with good news. ?
