Interested to hear experience out there on this - it's always been a pain for us and a bit of a limitation with the Cali. I have a bike on there almost 100% of the time and I find - in cold weather especially where the gas struts lose some of their capability - even one lightweight mountain bike on at the closest mounting the tailgate wont stay up. Even in summer I wouldnt stand under there comfortably. Does really limit boot space practicality (removing the stops on the rear set helps for access from the cabin)
I think the gas struts on the T6 are weaker or the tailgate is heavier. I even checked the correct HD struts were indeed fitted. Winter the tailgate wont even really stay up with the rack folded down and no bike on there.
Our T6 demo was same - set of skis on the bike rack and no chance of the tailgate staying up in the cold...
