No. You need to lift up the bar and take gate aside to walk through and then set it up again. It is a draw back, but I still like it because it is simple and easy and reasonably priced. I do, however, admit that I use this gate on openings that I don't go in and out of very often.

Yes if gate is a pedestrian gate and not for vehicle access. There is a different opener for that.

No you cant open your back hatch once the saddlebag is secured properly. But this wasn't a problem for us we accessed the area by laying rear row of seats down to load and unload cargo. The main problem i did have with bag though is it dosent hold its shape like the picture shows i built a pvc pipe cube to go inside the bag made it much easier to load and unload the bag and gave it extra support. Held up great on our 9 hour trip from flordia to alabama and we drove through heavy rain and everything stayed dry

No. But the tailgate has to be open to get to the latch. So, if the gate locks the cover is essentially locked also.

Yes you can open the tailgate and leave it down and the cover will stay down and locked.

With the tailgate closed and the cover installed correctly you can lock the tailgate and you are unable to open the cover. However, you could probably break in if you had a crowbar.

No, you cannot. I had the same question when I bought the cargo divider. You can buy the pop and lock for the tailgate. This should deter anyone from taking the divider.

The tailgate can be opened without opening the tonneau cover panels. With that being said, the last panel of the tonneau cover has to be opened slightly when you close the tailgate and then pushed back down after the tailgate is closed. If you don't, the seal gets jammed in between the tailgate and tonneau cover panel.

Yes, there is an option that you can switch on for the gate to close itself after it is open. The duration is programmable.

When latched down if cannot be opened without first opening the tailgate. If your tailgate locks then yes.

Some, you cannot load things in the bed all the way to the tailgate where the ladder is attached. I have a shortbed and longer items I put the tailgate up and rest them on the tailgate and strap it down. The ladder is great and it is well worth the inconvenience you will sometime experience when loading.

I measured from the most aft setting of the positioning clamps in the rear and you will need to have about 28 inches from your rear roof rail to the opened position of you tailgate in the open position. It should be doable since your vehicle is one of the most popular minivans out there. The other consideration is the length od this box...it is long so by shifting it forward on your roof to allow for clearance of the tailgate you may have a fair amount of overhang in the front. Just think really big sun visor.

For the close install that I did, there are points on this gate latch that can be ground down to gain necessay clearances. Otherwise, I'd have to go outside to measure and it is very cold with fresh snow so at this moment, I'll pass on the measuring, at least 'til this afternoon.
