Can’t reach Tailgate

569 Views 4 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  Trailhawk15
My mother-in-law bought a 2021 Jeep Renegade. She’s short and can’t reach the tailgate to close it when it’s open. The dealer said there’s nothing that can be done. After measuring the existing gas supports I bought new ones with about 1.25” shorter stroke. These were easy to install and lowered the “raised height” of the tailgate by 6.5”. Problem solved. Here is what I bought on Amazon:

BOXI 2pcs 6936 Gas Charged... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H6WIOCK?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Hope this helps someone else.
