I noticed that when I've just finished charging my Trophy at home, the passenger side active grill shutter is open but the driver's side one is not.
I thought they were all one shutter, are they separate left and right or is mine broken ?
 
Now you would think that they are linked together with one motor.
When I got my car the weather was cool and often the passenger side would be open and the driver side closed.
I thought that one was jammed open.

Now the weather is warmer with the aircon working harder they are both open.

I can't say for sure that one was jammed and has now freed its self until the weather starts to cool down
 
Seemed odd to me that they would be separate.
If they are, I wonder in what circumstances would the left one open or the right one open alone ?
 
Update: The driver's side one, which wasn't opening, is now stuck open and not closing.
I've asked the dealer to take a look at it when it goes in for its second service in June.
