Vegabond Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Hi - My wife and I are looking into either the '16 Crosstrek or Outback. Here's the issue, we cannot find that the Crosstrek has an automatic lift gate open/close device while the Outback does. She's small in stature <unless she's mad at me> and cannot reach the opening to close the liftback on the Crosstrek- anyone have this issue as well and any possible solutions? Would shorter struts help - if at all possible? I've looked around this site and could not find a similar subject. I'd like to avoid another trip to the dealer at this point. Thank you in advance, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR_Loyale Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 A leather strap as a pull? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegabond Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 Good idea, I'd have the dealer install it as 'freebie'. Thanks for the input. BTW, I had a '85 GL which was the forerunner to the Loyale (traded in '90 for a '90 Legacy), This will be the 3rd Sube we'll own. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezapar Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 There is a handle built into the tail gate now. My wife is 5'3, she can reach it pretty easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
