BYD Seal bonnet difficult to close

ericzayya | 2026-02-15 07:35 | 6 views

BYD Seal (2025 performance model) new owner here. Is anyone having an issue with bonnet difficult to close/lock? It’s not easy to drop-lock, so I have to press hard the bonnet to close/lock. Please let me know if there’s any solution or tips to easily close. Thanks!

Sorry don't have an answer for you, but just curious if you could please share roughly where you are, what colour you got, and how long it took from order to delivery?

Try to adjust the rubber buffer https://www.reddit.com/r/BYD/s/2YEjh3PowC

Thank you so much, I just tried it and it’s now much easier to close, but resistance is still there.

Maybe you’re doing this but you have to effectively close it down very firmly from its open position using two hands. If you try to close it slowly like you would a standard bonnet then it doesn’t click shut easily. Picked that tip up from a YouTube video as initially I was trying to close lightly.

Just keep twisting it until you can just push it down to close, but not staying loose after closed.

If your bonnet is "too hard to close", you most likely need to adjust the ruber buffers/dampers. See here: https://www.reddit.com/r/BYD/comments/1orqi3l/bonnet_crease/nns5bgx/
