How to Choose the Right Power Tailgate Kit for Your Vehicle
Q: I'm already on my vehicle's product page. How do I know it's the correct model?
A: The compatibility table already shows the supported vehicle models. However, if your vehicle generation has multiple facelifts or regional versions, we strongly recommend sending us photos for manual verification before shipment.
Most vehicles can be identified simply by the model year. However, Korean-brand vehicles (such as Hyundai and Kia) require special attention. Different markets may use different tailgate brackets, gas struts, or even completely different tailgate locks despite having the same model name.
Please send us these 3 photos:
- Tailgate (overall rear view)
- Upper & lower strut brackets
- Tailgate lock (latch assembly)
Our technicians will verify the hardware before shipping to prevent compatibility issues.
Known regional differences
Kia EV3
European, Australian and Asian versions use different strut brackets, even though they share the same model name.
Kia Carens (3rd Generation)
Some Korean and Asian model years use different upper and lower mounting brackets.
2017 Kia Carens Tailgate Lock
The Korean version uses a different tailgate lock from other regional versions, making the components non-interchangeable.
⚠ IMPORTANT FOR HYUNDAI & KIA
If your vehicle is a Hyundai or Kia, please do not rely on the model name alone. Always send photos of the tailgate, both strut brackets, and the tailgate lock before shipment to avoid compatibility issues caused by regional manufacturing differences.
Q: Does the kit support my original factory key remote? Are the control buttons vehicle-specific?
A: Yes, our system fully integrates into your vehicle and supports up to 4 convenient control methods:
- 1. Key Remote — Fully supported. Most vehicles open by pressing the original Unlock button 3 times. Certain models use 2 presses or the factory trunk button.
- 2. Front Cabin — Control from the driver's seat.
- 3. Tailgate Button — Premium closing button included.
- 4. Kick Sensor — Optional hands-free opening & closing.
Q: My vehicle already has a broken factory (OEM) power tailgate. Can I buy your kit as a replacement or repair?
A: No. Our systems are NOT compatible with vehicles originally equipped with a factory power liftgate.
Q: Will installing your power tailgate kit void my vehicle warranty?
A: Mechanically, no. Our systems are CE & EMC certified, but dealership policies vary by country and region.
Q: Does the installation require drilling or wire cutting? Is it 100% plug-and-play?
A: It depends on your vehicle. Most models are plug-and-play, while some require minor drilling for routing the strut wiring if no factory holes are available.
Q: I am a DIY enthusiast. Can I install this power tailgate kit by myself?
A: Yes, provided you have strong hands-on skills and patience. We provide online technical guidance, but improper installation is not covered by warranty.
Q: My vehicle matches your product description. Will it fit 100%?
A: Yes, but one final verification is required.
After placing your order, please provide your exact manufacturing year. If our technicians identify possible regional differences (especially Hyundai & Kia), we will also request photos of your tailgate, strut brackets and tailgate lock before shipment.
Why do we verify manually?
International shipping is expensive. Confirming compatibility before dispatch helps avoid incorrect parts and unnecessary return costs.
Q: Are there any specific vehicle models that require extra verification before purchasing?
A: Yes. The following vehicles have known regional or body-style differences and should always be verified:
- Peugeot 508 / Opel Insignia — Hatchback vs Sedan.
- Hyundai & Kia — Regional bracket and lock differences.
- Toyota HiAce — High Roof vs Standard Roof.
- Volkswagen Caravelle (T5/T6/T7) — Soft-close vs non-soft-close versions.
- Audi Q3 (F3) — Mounting hardware varies by production year.
⚠ CRITICAL ACTION REQUIRED
If your vehicle matches any of the models above, please contact our technical team before or immediately after placing your order. We may hold shipment until compatibility is confirmed.
