Any 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.

:-) 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.

Mine is not electric. A string sounds like a good idea. 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.

Yep, for $1.99 I keep chopping up chunks of foam 'Pool Noodle' and using
it to protect things I don't want bashed up, like when I tie my ladder
to my roof rack. It's super cheap and comes in several ghastly colors.
