Rotate the damper by using arrow mark on the
damper as a guide to adjust the tailgate height. The
damper height is altered by roughly 3 mm when the
damper is rotated once.
NOTE: If a rattling noise is heard due to the vibration
of the tailgate when the vehicle is being driven,
adjust the damper height until the damper is seated
on the vehicle body. The damper should be seated
on the vehicle body regardless of a rattling noise.
