Re: How do you keep the back gate open??
My trunk usually stays open if i put it open, but i dont think ive parked on a hill as steep as the one your talking about. But my suggestion was get something to hold it open like a stick or something, like some cars have to hold open there hoods.

Try this, except put it on the other side.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Bungee Cords...
Strap a Bungee from the spare wheel to the rear drivers side wheel...

Maybe in future years HUMMER will put the spare on its own swing and change the back access to a lift & drop or a total lift...

Re: How do you keep the back gate open??
Thanks for the thoughts guys. I tried all of these and was looking for something a little better. I have an expandable tent pole with a rubber end on it that I use to prop the gate open with. I tried the bungees and the gate is too heavy, I think rope might be better. I was hoping someone had designed something that could be stuck in the frame between the door and the jamb to keep it open. Oh well, I'll keep trying until I find something that works!!
Thanks again.......  |

Cut a piece of angle iron the same length as the small tube on the doors' gas strut. After you open the door, slap the piece of angle iron on the small tube: problem solved

I thought of this but I'm not too sure whether the housing on the strut can take the pressure of something jammed in there with the weight of the gate against it. I thought of clamping the strut once it is open but again, not too sure it can handle the weight of the gate. |
