Hi,
I just bought a 2013 Town & Country with the power liftgate. When the lift gate is full up and van is pulled into the garage, the lift gate can hit the top of the garage door opening. Is there a limit switch or any other way to limit how high the hatch lifts?

Thanks

Read your owners manual or talk to your dealer.

nope.... no limiter on the manual ones either. Time for a bigger garage.

Or open the gate manually so it doesn't bang into the door opening under power.

If it was a manual gate, I'd suggest installing shorter struts; don't know if that would work on a power gate because it might have a height sensor.

Why not? That seems to be a smart thing to do.

On my 08 with power liftgate I can open it manually and stop it at a height I want. Just remember to close it manually so you don't hit the button and it raise up by accident.
