Hi Dave/Hound/Duncho,
A bit of good news.
5 of us in Singapore qashqai group who did the electric tailgate from www.che1.com and 2 other China suppliers managed to get it modded to get back to 1.78m compared to stock 1.83m measured which is fine.
Another 6 bros will be installing this 1-2 weeks.
Pro is that it is primarily and simply using back the stock upper hinge instead of the same/similar brackets provided by these supplier but Con is that the strut may not last as I did discussed previously with www.che1.com but they feel use with the brackets did not create such concern. But we figured that if needed, we will just replace the electrically motorised struts and 1.78m is fine even for me at 1.77m which is probably 90 percentile.
Cheers,
Richard

Hi Richard, thanks for this update on the height modification. I have never received an answer from AU so it looks as there was no interest or the contact information was wrong. The height restriction I feel is a problem for us Europeans I had enough "Headache" problems when the Rear Hatch Struts started to slow down especially in the winter.
Do you have any pics available just out of interest as from previous posts you guys seem to well engineer modifications. It does seem from you comments though that parts could fail or go wrong
Thanks again hope all is well with you QQ Guys in Singapore - Dave
