Hi Phil,
I responded to this portion of your post separately since it merits emphasis....
I have pondered doing more with the underside of the Honda Insight Tail Extension to get the active angle closer to 6 degrees or so all the way back to the lights.
One big concern I have is the health of the old country roads I travel on during commutes to work. Suffice it to say they are BUMPY.
If I had a portion of the tail that simply dropped down lower than the current *hard slope*, that moveable portion would make one heck of a racket back there with all the bumps in the road.
It seems that the dropped portion would need some sort of damping, maybe in the form of soft foam rubber, or something else to cushion that constant vibration from the rough road surface.
It would be nice if the soft foam were sealed to prevent picking up moisture from the snow (or rain) when driving down the road.
Beyond that I can see using a small diameter rubber wheel to raise the moveable portion when clearing driveway aprons and such.
Jim.
