I have an S trim. We had a bit of a cold spell and was forced to park outside in a parking deck for a few days. Then I opened the non powered lift gate and smacked my head a few times realizing that the tailgate lift shocks weren’t lifting the tailgate to the normal max height as I could force it up a couple more inches. Thinking the tailgate lift shocks were going bad I was set to make an appointment at the dealer to see if it would be covered under warranty. Then the weather got warmer and it started going back to normal max height. I know air temperature plays a part in tire pressure, does anyone know or can confirm that the same is the case for the tailgate lift shocks?

Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Hear hear, I’ve smacked my head a few times too- that makes sense for me.
