Condition/Concern
A customer may comment that, after opening the power liftgate, it will not stay in the full open position and may drift down a few inches before coming to a rest.
Recommendation/Instructions
This may be caused by the incorrect strut mounting brackets installed on the vehicle. Check on the liftgate mounting brackets for a letter P or M stamped on the bracket. P is for a power liftgate system and M is for a Manual liftgate system. If Manual strut mount brackets are found on the vehicle, replace with the correct bracket(s) for power liftgate.

The picture above is an example of the correct brackets for a power liftgate.
