After reading about some unfortunate mishaps bumping into garage walls and doors, driving away with the trunk open, etc., I thought I'd try to pre-empt my inevitable lapse in attention someday. I bought a swimming pool noodle and cut it up to make a bumper on the open garage door, and put a tape line on the floor of the garage so I can watch for it in the camera to know where to stop so I don't hit the shelving in front of the car as I pull in. No mishaps yet, knock on wood...

I just adjusted the hatch so that it only opens so far--then to get it higher I can manually lift it up. The process is to manually adjust the hatch height and then press and hold the button until it beeps (three times IIRC)

I made the same adjustment as well. The only downside is that I sometimes bang my head on the hatch in this slightly lower position. Oh well, better my head than the car, right?

I did the same. Then my son came by to put a bag in the car and lifted the hatch all the way up..dinger! Ouch, said the car. I like the swim noodle solution!
