Suggestions on how to cover grey curb or what would work well?

We have tried roses ( second picture ) but have a big deer problem.

Update : I did find a solution through my auto shop guy who was able to pry it open. It's good for now but it will not close all the way.

Tl;Dr it's an actuator issue as expected! Got quoted $450 for parts and labor by the dealership!

Any suggestions for a DIY fix now that I got it open? Do I need to worry about rain seeping in? Should I cover the charging port?

I've looked through all recommendations so far but none worked. I understand it's a common actuator issue. Here is what I've tried

Gentle banging on the door
Lock & unlock a few times while applying pressure
Key to pry open
Pressure on top right corner
It's spring time so not a cold jam

Have a dealer appointment on Tuesday but trying to get a solution before I shell out the cash to them.
