Will Manually Forcing the Electric Tailgate to Close Cause Damage?

[ValerieLynn]

Manually forcing the electric tailgate to close generally does not cause damage. Here are the specific details about electric tailgates: Closing Methods: Typically, models with a convenient closing function for the trunk have manual opening or closing settings. Besides using buttons to open or close the electric tailgate, you can also pull the trunk handle and push it to close. Reasons for Failure to Close: The inability to close is often due to issues such as hinge displacement, misalignment of the door lock latch, inability of the door lock tongue to reverse and lock securely, or a malfunction in the door lock closing contact switch. If the electric tailgate is an aftermarket installation, it is likely that the anti-pinch sensor was not installed properly, leading to false triggering and preventing the tailgate from closing.
