    Yeah the travel limit is too short. Only 14". Guess it's ok if you're 4'9". Wife is 5'7" doubt she'll want to stoop to get in the trunk.

    Looking at the Dakota digital linear actuators, just can't find any video of the in action. And the Dakota install instructions are kinda lame.

    They may have other options if you call them....

    Maybe. I've actually found several videos of this unit online being installed and it seemed messy.
