I keep whacking my head on the hatch (2014 CR-V) when it's open (I'm 6'3"), and was wondering if any of you think it's possible to put longer struts on so it will be higher when opened. I had a buddy look at it, and he seems to think it won't close with the longer struts on it.

Am I setting myself up for a fail?

 

experience I had with a Honda fit, put in longer struts, open a bit more, did not close.

 

Guess that would depend on the points on which they are attached???
