Prius (Gen 1) :: Rigging Up The Height Of Tailgate


Sep 9, 2010

I have had the Prius since Jan 2008. Wife has developed arthritis in shoulders & can no longer reach up to rear tailgate when open. Looking for rigging up a height restrictor ? At present, use strap from rear luggage securing ring to the U-catch of the lock, but have to remove each time when closing. Any better solution?

Passat (B6) :: Power Tailgate Height Adjustment?

So I can successfully set the height at which the tailgate should stop, and in fact, the "power" function seems to stop there. But once the motors stop doing their thing, it just keeps slowly creeping up, as though the gas pressure in the struts is too strong for the tailgate weight. It's brand new, so this wouldn't be surprising. But is that the way it's supposed to work? If so, what's the point of setting a height at all? In my case, I want it top stop just a couple inches before hitting my garage door.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Way To Re-program The Tailgate / Rear Door Height?

Is there a way to re-program the tailgate/rear door height? Or even manually adjust? Just purchased a 2012 RX 350, and my garage is about 4 inches too short. Now I realize I can disable the electronic lift, but it's a shame not to be able to use this feature. I'm sure others have had this problem, but I've googled with no success.

Prius (Gen 3) :: How To Adjust Headlights Height

I understand this can be done with a phillips screwdriver inserted to the sprockets almost like a gear.

My question is, does turning the driver clockwise move the light up or down?

Prius Plug-in 2012-15 :: Front Spoiler / Bumper Height From Pavement

Was talking to a cab company running over a hundred Prius, they like the gas mileage.

Biggest problem running a hundred plus Prius in LA is the skirt front bumper is so low to the ground (for better aerodynamics) ... less than 5 inches ground clearance when loaded ... it hits the ground and bows the side moldings of the bumper.

Prius (Gen 3) :: Tailgate Panel Always Loose And Rattling

I recently brought my 2011 in for its final service with a laundry list of issues, one of which was the tailgate panel that was always loose and rattling. Of course the dealer told me there was no problem, and it's always been difficult to isolate the source of rattles on this car since the entire car is a symphony of rattling plastic.

I looked into the tailgate panel more closely to find that the two plastic grab handles built into the tailgate panel were loose. I pulled the panel off to discover the root for the problem. The two plastic grab handles are sonically welded (melted) to the tailgate panel, (five welds per handle). Three of the five welds on each handle were fractured, (six out of ten welds had failed).

I took the panel back to the dealership and showed it to the service manager who miraculously concluded that the panel was defective, but it wasn't like that when they looked at it the day before.

Phaeton :: How Low Can Drop The Ride Height

Looking out the window at the over 2 feet of snow in the driveway makes me wonder....how low can I drop the ride height??

Do I fudge the controller for another 10mm or install the adjustable link kit from "LOWERMYRIDE"??? What is the sweetspot 20mm,30mm??

Golf VI R :: What Should Be The Max Height Of Coilovers In Winter

So, I am starting to look at coilover kits. I really want to have as close to stock ride height in the winter. Deep snow and chunks of snow/ice on the road are common here and I don't want to break bumpers. At least I don't want to break bumpers any more than a stock car would.

In the summer however, I want to lose the gap. Really given the last couple of winters, it would be really nice to be able to change the ride height in just a few minutes, without removing wheels or jacking the car up.

It seems that the coilover kits I have seen so far start at about 1" lower than stock. Are there any kits out there that start at, or close to, stock height? I know 1" isn't much lower than stock, but again I am trying to get as close to stock for winter driving. Is there something that can be added to these kits to push the max height up some?

Oh yeah, ride quality and cornering performance are important too!

Phaeton :: Ride Height Feature Not Working

I'm over at my sisters and she is complaining that her ride height adjustment does not work. She needs to use it for the car to clear the end of her garage (there is a small ledge at the end) I hop in and push the button... nothing happens, nothing in the infotainment or MFA. I'm wondering if the switch is not making contact? Or could it have something to due with the not enough air pressure? I think I'll try to put it in "jack" mode, maybe that will reset it. Anything else I should try? I guess I'll drive it in to work for her (which is normally fun for both us, she likes to drive my R32 and I love driving the Phaeton )

Passat (B6) :: How To Adjust Rear Height On Coilovers

How do you adjust the rear height on coilovers? I have the ST coilovers which are comparable to the KW. Do I have to compress the spring and then adjust? I tried to do it with the wrenches given but the whole thing just turns with it. I'm going to lower the front some more and I want to do the rear as well. It is my first set of coilovers on a car and I had someone else do the install.

Lexus GX 2004-09 :: Height Control Switch Not Responding

I was driving today and noticed the ride was a harsh and bumpy. I stopped the car and try raising the car by pressing the up arrow on the height control switch, however, nothing happened.

The height control indicator is on "N" and it does not change when I press the height control switch either "UP" or "DOWN".

I found a few cases online where people stated that the "Height Control Button Off" button would flash. I have no flashing or warning lights in my dashboard.
