Has anyone else..... - ant - 01-02-2012 09:55am
managed to accidentally open the rear tailgate by banging their knee into the open switch?
This has happened to me about 5 times so far and is most annoying. Once I even started driving off with the tailgate open. You also can't close it from inside the car so I've had to get out each time to close it.
I do have my seat position set quite high so I've noticed that my left knee brushes very close to the dash when I get in.

Once,it was a close call ran straight out and held the boot so it could not open fully and scrape the wall. The car was in the garage at the time, so I shall be fixing some door guards there for just in case,but has
not happened again.

I've got the "easy entry" set now so the seat is lower and further back and doesn't come to my preferred driving position until I start the engine. Seems to give me a little more "knee room" at the dash.

Worth noting that although you can't close the tailgate using the button, you can halt it's progress using the button in the car or on the key fob...so no need to run out in future

Will the key fob not close it then? I'm sure some cars have that feature?

Key fob doesn't close it, only open and stop, I thought it was a bit of a gimmick but actually really like it now! Never hit the button accidently myself but can see how you could, its quite large and knee height.
