Hi all.
After owning our Corolla cross for 9 month, I had a weird experience yesterday.
Luck was that the only parking space available was one where the left rear wheel was sitting on a curb while the other wheels was on the road. When opening and closing the tailgate, it felt different, and was harder to close. A closer inspection showed that the locking mechanism and hook was no longer alligned.
The way I see it, it can only be body flex pushing the lock and hook out of allignment.
Can having one wheel on the curb really flex the body so much it effekts the tail gate allignment? I was a bit stunned when it happened.
Thanks
Have a nice day.
