Reported cause · Original poster
My issue is more with the mechanical latch rather than teh sensor (except the cut it created on my finger).
Leading evidence: 'more' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'more' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Install short shift' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Anyone know if it has any adjustment? I am fed up having to slam mine to make it latch, or walk away from the car and press the button to find it honking at me to tell me it has yet again not shut properly. I have had a brief look at the mechanism but all I have worked out is that the catch/sensor is very sharp as I cut my finger on it.

It's a micro switch with a lever on it, this lever is thin metal about 2cm x 0.3cm, with the odd bend in it. The only way to get at this is by following the instructions to remove the centre console.
What usual happens, I've had it happen twice, is this switch breaks off and moves slightly out of position.
Follow the instructions here:

Thanks for that.
My issue is more with the mechanical latch rather than teh sensor (except the cut it created on my finger). I may see if I can get it looked at under the warranty as I do not want to go removing the centre console.

I remnoved mine when I installed the short shift. Chances are, you'll break the plastic bracket for it when you remove the centre console anyway.

But you wouldn't break if you were installing a SSK again now would you?
I have to admit, my micro-switch holder did get broken when I installed mine :wink:

You can pick up a replacement hinge (some Boxsters and Carreras don't have the uprated hinge) from you local OPC. Or check out this:
