I took it in and told the repair guys the seals were broke. They estimated the repair at $200 for lift cylinders and about $650 for a new motor. They charged me $95 to tell me that the lift cylinders were broke and so was the motor. I asked them didn't they think it might just be the lift cylinders. They said no, it needed a motor too. I went back after I put the new cylinders on and asked for a refund of $95 since the diagnosis was not accurate which they gave me. This of course made me happy.

Hey Good on you for sticking with it and going back to the shop too. Glad your liftgate is back in action - it is one of the nicer features and we enjoy it a lot.
