Does your tailgate make this noise?
Hey folks,
Since I bought my wagon, the tailgate's made this creaking/screeching sound when I close it manually. If I let the motor do the work, it works and sounds fine.
Does anyone else's wagon do this? Is it normal, and is there a fix?
Thanks

I'm pretty sure that's the case. In my case the electric tailgate works fine, but sometimes I'd like to do a slow test-fit close by hand. Also, anyone not familiar with the car tends to just grab it and close it manually out of habit.
