Default Unloading groceries when parked in garage.

Is it practical to unload groceries from the back hatch when parked in the garage?

Depends on your garage, but the opening height of the hatch is adjustable. I left mine on full height open as I have the necessary clearance.

Do it all the time. Back the car in, close the garage door and open the hatch. Have always done this with every car we had when the garage has an interior entry.

Just make sure that your back door does not hit the top on your garage door, it might be veeeery close, I think they are all standard, I set mine height manually just to be safe and so I do not have to worry if the hatch going to hit the garage door.

Make sure you have enough room in back of the car so it can open without hitting /interfering with the garage door curve part about 2 - 2 1/2 feet behind the car to garage door. Full open height is typically not an issue. Trying to adjust to partial height is not a good solution IMHO.

YMMV,

Curious why, have you found the opening height control settings unreliable?

Because it is easy to whack you head if you don't use full height. It was easier to clear another foot ahead of the NX.

YMMV,
