2012 Porsche Cayenne S Hatch Release
I just bought a new 2012 cayenne S hybrid, was wondering if anyone had a solution to this issue i've been having with the trunk release. Is there a way to stop it from opening up as high, my garage has relatively little top end clearance so when it opens the trunk hits the top of the garage. Even pushing the button on the trunk itself and trying to open it, it seems the power opening activates and forces it up into the top of the garage. Is there a way to stop it short but still have it open?

See below from the manual (It pays to read it despite what Bill says 
)
I have to ask though; how many times did your tailgate hit your garage ceiling?
Adjusting the opening height of the tailgate
The opening height of the tailgate can be
individually adjusted so that the tailgate does not
hit the garage ceiling, for example.
On vehicles with level control, the vehicle height
changes according to the level control setting.
Always adjust the tailgate on vehicles with level
control with the vehicle at the highest level
setting so that the tailgate cannot accidentally
hit the garage ceiling, for example.
1. Stand behind the vehicle and open the tailgate.
2. Press button on the key to stop the
automatic opening operation at around 2/3 of
the opening height.
3. Now move the tailgate up by hand until the
desired opening height is reached. Make sure
that there is a sufficient minimum clearance
from any obstacle.
4. Press button A in the trim panel on the tailgate
for approximately 3 seconds.
An acknowledgement signal sounds.
The opening height of the tailgate has now
been programmed.
The tailgate can now be closed by briefly
pressing the button.
This setting cannot be deleted. If a different
setting is required, repeat steps 1 to 4.
