Remote tailgate release

I recently researched my situation where my tailgate opened without my knowledge. I have a f250 Lariat with the key fob for convenience. My alarm was also triggered unintentionally while the fob was in my pocket. I thought Forscan could allow me to turn off this feature but after much research I found out I could not modify the logic.. Last week my nephew came over with his GM and showed me a cover he had on his fob. I looked up covers for my F250 on good ole Amazon and found a red (truck is ruby red) leather fob cover. I have not had an incident since I put the cover on the fob. Let's hope it works for the long term.
This is the link for the cover.
Amazon Amazon

Hope this helps. Good luck.

Did you have other things in your pocket that caused it to unintentionally press the button? I guess I could see this somewhat helping, but it could still happen, since you push the button through the case.
