Liftgate Adjustment
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2005 Dodge Caravan, and 2005 Chrysler Town & Country. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
In order for the power liftgate system to function properly the liftgate must move freely and smoothly. The power liftgate system can accommodate for some minor changes in the effort required to move the liftgate. However, in extreme conditions the liftgate may need to be mechanically adjusted for proper fit and finish. (Refer to BODY/DECKLID/HATCH/LIFTGATE/TAILGATE/LIFTGATE - INSTALLATION) for detailed instructions.
If a problem exists with the power liftgate and it is suspected to be extreme effort, check the liftgate prop rods and hinges for free movement.
NOTE:
Routine application of Mopar MP-50® or equivalent on the chrome prop rod shafts and liftgate latch and hinges will help keep the liftgate in good working order.
