Default Trunk lock pull down adjustment

I just brought my 2006 A8L into a very high end body shop to get my front and rear bumpers touched up... lots of stone chips up front and trunk rub-rash on the rear. Got it back today and the trunk auto lift/close still works, but the soft close trunk lock will not pull it down for the final lock engagement: if I give it a bit of help or close it manually with a bit of oomph... it will lock, but then it is very hard to unlock it... the Auto Unlock button just won’t release the latch, it requires a manual unlock from the lid or the push button unlock button on the driver door to get it to release.

Long story short... it obviously needs a little adjustment... does anyone know of the how and where to do that adjustment? I’m sure the shop will do it if I brought it back in, but if it’s easy to do, I can probably get it done over the weekend and not hassle them for it.

If you aren't luck enough to have the original spring still in the trunk then follow this: https://www.audiworld.com/forums/a8-...pdate-2946505/
