Alarm Triggered by phantom lift gate opening

[S3Will]

When's it 32 degrees or colder and I lock my car after a drive, the alarm will sound and I'll get an alert that my lift gate has been opened. My lift gate has not been opened but when I try to open it, it won't. It'll unlatch but will only raise a few inches. All this goes away when the temp gets above freezing. Any ideas? I'm taking it to dealership this week for other issues.

No, they couldn't recreate the problem at the dealership.

I've had issues where the sensors for the bumper get water in them and it freezes which happened on my 21 raptor so they go off constantly when the car was in reverse. I'm sure something similar is happening to the sensor for the lift gate.

Also it could be ghosts

Anyone ever figure this out? Mine is doing it now as well. Doesn't matter the outside temperature either. Randomly the power hatch will not open all the way, or will open but not close, or set the alarm off after I lock the car. I am thinking it may be battery related as the battery is still the original, but everything else works fine and never any issues starting or anything
