Next use thinner wires!Ħ) We installed the ECU Control Box further back and beside the rear plate bulb holder, if we followed the suggested location, the foam inside of the tailgate’s plastic panel will squeeze and damage the connectors on the Box.ħ) The Latch Motor had to be installed in another location. This took an hour to complete the passage of the connectors and cables altogether, we did not want to stretch the rubber gourmet’s body out of proportion. Then attached a string on the end of Latch cable and applied a lot of WD 40 and similarly slower since it has become very tight. So, had to insert the power cable first applying a lot of WD 40 and slowly pulling it. The connectors were bulky and numerous, and the wires bundle together is bigger than the gourmet can accommodate.

The plastic holder on both ends of the rubber gourmet are brittle and very hard to pry open and detach from the tailgate and body, too much force could damage a tooth and will no longer be able install on its original finish.ĥ)ěut the most challenging was inserting the power cable and latch motor cable on the connecting rubber gourmet between the tailgate and body. The person who installed the unit for VW Touareg power tailgate kit, is an audio installer for the past 15 years and worked mostly with German cars.ġ) The installation took three and half hours.Ģ) Removing and reinstallation of the tailgate panel was a breeze.ģ) Strut installation was easy except for the round gourmet / rubber O-ring attached to wire was difficult to insert on a small oval shape hole.Ĥ) Removing the rubber gourmet between tailgate and body was challenging.
They also made a short video of the fitting to put on their website! My wife loves being able to walk across the supermarket car park watching the tailgate rise as she approaches with her trolley! A great value addition to an already nice car. Fitting was straight forward and they did a superb job of installing the switches and concealing the wiring. When the kit arrived I was immediately impressed with the quality, as was the garage who would be fitting it. It is always a worry buying from the other side of the world but knowing that most Chinese equipment is now top quality I decided to take the chance. My local independent BMW specialist had a look at the website and agreed to do the fitting as an experiment if I bought the kit. Getting an automatic lifter from BMW would have been horrendously expensive so when I by chance saw the Autoease Lifter I was immediately interested. My wife loves her bmw X3 (2011 model) but found the tailgate heavy to open and close. Also, there is beeping when the door opens and closes, slightly annoying, I simply disconnected the beep buzzer. It is that the interior release button illuminates for me only when my left blinker activates otherwise I cant see the button in the dark. The only two issues I have may be vehicle specific due to wiring, maybe /maybe not. I give this 5 stars due to the fast shipping time (days not weeks+ from China), prompt replies and function. This makes car life easier for those carrying multiple things and or wrist issues. Super convenient by means of activating it thru your original keyfob remote by pressing unlock 3x, interior button, trunk button under licence plate and interor trunk button. The liftgate functions as advertised and is not too fast or slow. We actually were even able to place the interior cabin gate button in a more convenient location for arms reach. There were no issues or modifications due to problems. This was installed on my Chevy Trax in about 3 hours at a local shop who did not do it before. Thank you for making such a great product. In this case the expression fits - Happy Wife = Happy Life. This is something that my wife has wanted for a long time, and I am very pleased that I found your product and am happy to recommend your company to others. Please send me information regarding sending the old unit back to you and I will ship it out by the end of the week.Īgain, thanks for the wonderful service and what I believe will be an excellent addition to my Ford Edge. I will be travelling Sunday through Wednesday, this week. The only thing I could see that was different was the control box that was printed in English and had a slightly different unit number on it. I decided to remove all parts and use everything from the new kit. Sending the entire new assembly was the answer. I appreciate your excellent customer service and prompt communications. I was away for most of last week, but installed all the new parts today and everything now works perfectly. Thank you very much for sending the replacement tailgate kit for my Ford Edge.
