Rear power liftgate durability
OK, I’ve gotta ask. I have work rideshare and people who get annoyed that I don’t get out of the car and like put a red carpet out for them and pick up their steamer trunk that is way heavier than my doctor will allow me to pick up with my spinal injury into the back of the car nor do I want to take the chance of being carjacked when I get out of the car to lift something I cannot lift and damage my spine further and they have to do it themselves. Well they don’t wait for me to push the button to close it. They get all pissy and slam it shut and I’m wondering if that’s going to damage my motor that opens and shuts the liftgate or damages the sensors to let me know that there’s something in the way of the liftgate.
Has anyone had experience with people slamming their liftgate and causing damage to the hydraulics or the power arm/motor for the liftgate?
