Car Forum / Honda Cars / February 2008Any way to let the tailgate not open that much?
My new Odyssey can open the tailgate (trunk) all the way up to higher than the roof. It touches the top frame of my garage door. Is there a way to restrict th tailgate from opening that far? Thanks.

Thanks. > > Yong Huang > yong321 @ yahoo.com --------------------------- :-) Put ramps under the front wheels or reduce air pressure in rear tires. Nothing else _easy_ comes to mind. Is it an electric one on the new model? I have an old '98 Odyssey. 'Curly' >> My new Odyssey can open the tailgate (trunk) all the way up to higher >> than the roof.

But I decided to glue some paper board on the garage frame (I said garage door earlier. I was wrong). The tailgate touches that board but it's kind of soft so no damage is done.

I used pipe insulation wrapped around a 1x2 that I then screwed into place. >> Mine is not electric. A string sounds like a good idea.

It's super cheap and comes in several ghastly colors. 'Curly' |
