Default Controlling the hatch opening height on sportback

Has anyone seen a way to set an upper limit on the hatch opening height of the sportback? The reason i ask is i just bounced the spoiler off my garage door this morning.

Yes, its in the manual. You have to manually lower it to the desired height and hold the hatch open/close button down for a a few seconds, it will beep a confirmation and the height is now stored.

I asked the delivery person to show me how to set the opening height when my car was being delivered because I knew it would hit my garage door if allowed to open at full height. The procedure is quite easy, as described by MRA5SB.

If clearances permit you can always push it higher after the height you set has been reached.
