Jerry - can you please enlighten me on your "duh" moment? I'm having the same issue as the lift gate is hitting my garage door and I can't find out how to make this adjustment (2016 EX-L) Thanks in advance!In our case, the lift gate touched our garage door and I put foam on the bottom of the door. Later. I had a "duh" moment and checked the automatic door opener and, sure enough, there was an adjustment, which allowed me to have the door open high enough to avoid contact.
Good luck, Jerry O.
You have to make adjustment to your garage door opener to open it fully. Check your garage door manual. Typically there are two knobs in the garage door head unit which makes adjustment to the opening of the garage. Varies by model though.Jerry - can you please enlighten me on your "duh" moment?

I think Jerry was making the adjustment to his garage door. It's possible to adjust the "travel" to control how much it opens or closes.Jerry - can you please enlighten me on your "duh" moment?

Thanks guys, played around with it and created a hybrid solution (adjusted garage door a bit and but the pipe liner as well)I think Jerry was making the adjustment to his garage door. It's possible to adjust the "travel" to control how much it opens or closes.
Are your rear windows open when the doors won't open automatically? I was reading earlier in the thread that there is a safety feature that disables the doors when the windows are open (in case someone's head is out the window). I hope this helps.We bought a new 2016 Special Edition a couple of months ago and have been having intermittent issues with the auto sliding doors. Every few days they won't open automatically. Not with the fob. Not when you pull the door handle. Not with the button up front. Yes, the doors are turned on, all the obvious stuff is how it should be. The van can be on, it can be off, doesn't matter. So I have to manually pull it open, and then manually shut it (even if I turn the van on after opening it, but before shutting it). But! After that first inconvenience of the day it will work fine. I'm a stay at home mom and we don't leave the house often, so I'd say about half of the time that first door opening it won't work. So inconvenient!!! I took it to the dealership and left it with them for a couple of days (needed it back for a doctor appointment). They couldn't replicate the issue so it couldn't be fixed. They don't know why it's happening and haven't heard of the issue before. Ugh. I just want my doors to function. Has anyone else been as unfortunate as I?
It's been working like that for ages.I got a new 2016 Ody EX-L 2 months ago. I realized that if my gas cap door is open, the sliding door on that side will not open. And correctly so since it will hit the gas cap! Well thought out on this one
