[QUOTE="zippyzoe, post: 24708, member: 9106"] Here’s a polished rewrite: [HR][/HR] Ugh, frustrating moment! I accidentally opened the trunk the garage door was still closed. When the garage door opened, the liftgate continued rising. Thankfully, I managed to stop it before it damaged the garage door. Unfortunately, my car wasn’t as lucky—there’s now a 1-inch gouge on the bottom of the liftgate. I found a paint touch-up kit from PaintScratch.com for under $50 (including taxes and delivery). My car is the bright blue one with the white hood. I tested the kit, and while the color match isn’t perfect, it’s close enough for now. Still scratching my head over how the trunk opened in the first place. Maybe it didn’t latch properly when I closed it? I had some empty boxes in the trunk area that might have hindered the closing. Plus my I garage is a bit snug because of a workbench, so every inch counts! Just a reminder to double-check before closing the door. More to come later on the "official" repair. [/QUOTE]
