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. Yong Huang yong321 @ yahoo.com |

Is it an electric one on the new model? I have an old '98 Odyssey. 'Curly' |

The tailgate touches that board but it's kind of soft so no damage is done. Yong Huang |

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