I have a manual lift tail gate so the instructions for powered tail lift gate do not apply for my car.

Whatever...
You can't adjust it huh? I drove around in an Audi Q7 for a couple weeks and that was one feature that seemed like a no-brainer. Not everyone is the same height, ya know?
Too low and I hit my head, too high and my 5'3" wife can't reach it. We found a perfect height and it was all good.

Like I said earlier I have a manual lift tailgate where the tailgate lifts too high and has the tendency to hit the low garage ceiling. I have solved that by restricting the expansion of the struts on both sides by tying a nylon rope on each side that restricts the struts expansion above my own height so that I can stand below the tail gate and and it does not hit the ceiling. I'll post some photos and that will say more than my words. Sorry could not add more than one photo. I have not really got the hang of how to load photos here.

There appears to be different length/stroke struts available: https://www.sparepartstore24.co.uk/spares/tailgate-struts/mazda/cx-5/2015bj
For instance the Johns 45-16-95/91 has Len/Stroke 495mm/185mm; while the MAPCO 91533 has 587mm/230mm. Both for the 2015 CX-5.
