I did it once right after I brought the truck home. Did it again tonight. No scratches!! I thought I would post up what I did after the first time to prevent damage to the tail gate. I was lucky the first time as the truck was very close to the garage door, so that the gate barely opened before it bumped the garage door, and missed the door hinges and didn't get marked. It's just 5/8" pipe insulation for 3/4" pipe. I'm sure any size would work as long as it's thick. I just used tie wraps for the hinge pieces and a sheet metal screw with a fender washer for the long vertical piece. It works really well.
Simple, cheap way to prevent a real bummer of an accident. Once I get going on ******** I plan on disabling the remote gate release. Another advantage of the long piece is if I get cold working in the garage I can slip my unit in there to warm it up for a bit.
