Mk7 tailgate opinions

[ned]

It will look different with a tailgate was that an option from new, not seen any on a medium roof.
I hate my tailgate but each to there own, I get what your saying about loading them no forklift will go under the door. N

Rare option I think, mk6 and mk7.

Mines just a car so I'm happy would have been cool if it had runners to allow the gate to go up and over like a garage door tho

I like my tailgate, but at a massive 5'4", I can run about under it without any risk of head injury

I'm 6'1 so expect periods where you don't see me on the forum

It must just be me that doesn't like the tailgate, I'm 6 foot and can fit nicely under mine on a low roof so you shouldn't have a problem just have to remember to close from the side in rain or you get soaked (more of a not to self ).

Surely there is a way to self make an up and over door, would be different and pretty darn cool if it can be done. N

I'm used to that as I have a garage door which I use every other day lol bit of a jump backwards when I close it

Would be cool to have the up and over option but I can't see it working on medium roof van without some fancy levers and pulleys.

Couldn't even have a quick release as the tailgate is too bloody heavy, I can lift mine up but it's too awkward and if it lands on my toes I think they'll break like carrots

I can see away of having the tailgate to raise up just not go over (not yet anyway)

You'll need the hinges from a coach side locker and some heavy duty struts, would be abit dodgy in the wind though. N

Why not a system like some windows. Handle one way lift up.
Handle other way door swings open
I'll leave the engineering to someone else

I actually thought about that today but i think it might need a fair bit of reinforcement to take the door
