Bottom line, your doors should not be "bouncing" off a cushion of air. If they re, there may be something wrong.

That said - I would love to have soft close doors and power boot lid. I am convinced the parts from the 5 or 7 could be installed in the 6 to add the power boot lid, but it would require some deft mechanical skills. I would try it but it's not worth the money to me since I lease.
May be the roll down isn't quite enough. Door bounces off, but I always avoid slamming the door, so that might contribute to my problem. I baby it too much.

I would love to retro fit auto trunk and soft close. It seems like it is doable, but it will take a bit of work.
