The operation of Tail gate depends on moment, such as Tail gate/Gas lifter, and also resistance, such as Weather strip/Air tight. Even though moment and resistance are critical factors for operation of Tail gate, we used to set up the Gas lifter-layout by engineering know-how and by trial and error, and without no consideration for resistance. Thus, it might be impossible that we set up the Gas lifter-layout optimized by prediction. In this paper we introduce air tight resistance value as a result of test, and introduce kinematic solution to predict the improved operation. The program, developed on EXCEL VBA by reflecting the test result and kinematic solution, should facilitate to improve operation of Tail gate by the prediction.
