Just manually push the tailgate all the up, then press and hold the close button for 3-5 seconds. Release and then push the button again to close and then test to see if it opens correctly. If not, do it again.
I find it annoying but only a little.
The fix is a new actuator. I'll wait until it fails completely.

Xc 60 tailgate issues
I have a 2012 xc 60, when I open the tailgate with the remote it unlocks but doesn't open, when I close the tailgate with the button on the door it closes about half way and then stops as off it has an obstruction. Any advice? Thans

I owe you three beers!
Your tip is still doing good in the world. I had this very problem, and your fix with helpful thumbnails fixed it the first time. I am so proud, and gained much face with my wife. Now for calling the dealership and cancelling the service appointment!!
Hello, wanted to share an annoyance that occurred a couple days ago and the very simple fix that may save someone else a trip to the dealership. I pushed the button for the tailgate to close automatically like a hundred times before but it wouldn't close all the way. Instead it would thud against the hook and come back open about a foot. I tried numerous times both manually and automatic but same issue. Not wanting to tear into a fairly new vehicle I decided to bring it to the dealership in case a part needed to be ordered and they fixed it in minutes. The mechanic showed me that if you remove the cover that goes over the door latch, there is a cable that can get stuck in the wrong position. He said if it happens again they will order a new mechanism and it will be covered under warranty. I attached a couple pics to make it very self explanatory. Let me know if anyone has questions and hopefully this helps.

A picture is worth many words
Thanks for the fix. I'd had a problem a few times and am glad for the advice. Hopefully the WD40 will prevent it happening again. Our issue was the tailgate not opening on touch of button or with key fob held down, but I could press the button and pull the tailgate up manually (heavy), so maybe it had unlatched but the servo wasn't raising it, or maybe it didn't unlatch fast enough. Only time will tell if it is sorted or not.
