Can someone do me a favour please?

For some reason, I get the feeling the top door of the tailgate isn't opening as high as it used to. Maybe it's just my imagination, but I don't want to force it higher and up the struts, so can someone measure the distance from the ground to the tailgate edge when it's fully open please?

Almost exactly 2000mm

Thanks, I'll go and check mine.

Is that with the suspension in "normal" setting? Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

Yes and on gravel.

Maybe it wasn't my imagination then, mine is 1910mm!  Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

I don't have an AB badge on the back, that was the previous owner, but maybe 5 years of the extra weight might have f d the struts!  Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

We should measure from the lower tailgate to the upper tailgate somewhere, either from the catch or the corners to eliminate uneven ground / EAS heights etc, and also with the same age vehicle  .
Experience is the only genuine knowledge, but as time passes, I have forgotten more than I can remember

That sounds like a good plan!
I did have it in my mind that there were a fair few variables that needed eliminated. Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

Top of bumper, the painted bit, to bottom edge of upper tailgate, 1350mm.
In the centre, with no wind. No sun either.

Mine measure 1310mm, so not quite as bad as it first appeared...........
