Default Can't open rear tailgate more than 5 inches!
Hello,

I tried to open the rear tailgate of my 2005 Dodge Caravan yesterday, but I could not get it to open more than 5 inches!! I thought something was blocking it, but there was nothing that I could see.

I saw that BOTH tailgate lift supports (one on each side of the tailgate) seemed to be coming off from where they are attached to on the tailgate.

Could this be the problem with me not being able to lift the tailgate up further than the 5 inches???

If so, how easy is it to replace these lift supports? (It doesn't seem like it would be too difficult)

Thanks,
Matt
