My experience exactly. Read my previous post for more details.

I'm still working on getting my system fully functional. Need some air line connectors. Who knows how many years the system in my car has been non-functional.

To split hairs, I found that the actual closing action is mediated by positive pressure (not vacuum). I suppose vacuum sounds right because the doors and trunk appear to "suck" shut. :) But, it's air pressure from the pump that actuates pistons that exert the mechanical force.
