Stuck Gear Tunnel Door (Gen 2 Quad Max)

[hedkase]

I've got an issue on my Gen 2 Quad Max. The driver side gear tunnel door only opens about half way then stops. Anyone else experience this?

To confirm: you're trying to pull it open, right? Not expecting automatic full opening?

Got any pics? Video?

When I push the button to open the drivers side gear tunnel door, it'll open maybe 50-75% of the way but stops just short of being perpendicular to the ground.

If you push it, will it go flat?

Nope. I Can push and it'll dip down a little more but always comes back to previous position. Very strange.

Oh that's weird. Can you see on the bottom hinge area if it's pressing against some cladding? That may be blocking it from dropping entirely and causing the rebound.

My trimax gear tunnel doors don't drop AT ALL. If I hit the release, they just unlock and maybe extrude 2-3mm. I have to dig my fingers into the panel gap to pull them down (but they do go down fully flat).

Mine don't drop either. Just pop out a little then have to manually pull them down.

I've tried looking to see if there's blockage but can't really get a good vantage point.

Looks like it needs to be adjusted. Does it clear here?

If you're willing to DIY your brand new $120k truck, I'll attach them. Otherwise, I recommend a service ticket.

After getting a better angle turns out a roll of dog poop bags had fallen into that hinge area. No idea how it got in there cuz there's no way I can see to get it out. Spent an hour trying to fish it out this evening.

I'll hit Rivian service tomorrow and see if they've got any ideas.

Shit happens

I am continually perplexed at how simple things like this are still not caught before delivery. And this is a Gen2 Quad! There really is no excuse for this...

Apologies, 100% my fault. I scrolled too fast and must've missed it.
