Liftgate suggestions?

MMSCHWE · #1 (**permalink**) 08-15-2012, 01:07 PM

Every once in a while, I need to carry something in my wife's MKX that is too long to allow the liftgate to close. There isn't any hardware to use to attach a rope or bungy to hold the liftgate down.
Does anyone have a useful tip on how to keep the liftgat down?

bungy from gate to bumper personally

My wife's '08 Edge has handles near the bottom inside edge of the lift gate that a bungy cord could be looped around and then the other end can be connected to the latch strike on the bottom.

The use of bungie cords is exceptionally dangerous. May I suggest the use of a strut installed with qucik disconnects that will hold the gate open.
