2015 Trax, sister in law is seeking an easy way to close the hatch. She uses a walker and when placed in the rear she's having difficulty closing the hatch. Has anyone converted the hatch to be powered closing? If, so could you provide detail? TIA

On our last car the wife had trouble closing the hatch, She has bad shoulders and could not reach up to get hold of it, I attached a rope with a T handle so that she could get it down far enough to be able to get it closed. Just make sure the handle gets tossed inside or you look silly with a wagging tail.

Its strange that a lift gate that go's as high as a Trax opens doesn't have a strap of some kind.

I'm not a very tall, a strap would help pull the door down a little to get hold of the door better.

I might have to look into making and attaching a strap, it would be nice if you could stop the door at the height needed, like you can on a Ford.
