The problems and losses caused by improper installation andimproper use are not covered by our company’s warranty.
1：Pre-installation check required!
Due to the large tolerance deviation of the car body to trunk lid assembly, you must check the deviation of the gaps between the roof glass and the tailgate before installing this power lift kit. The deviation between the left and right sides must be less than or equal to 4.5mm, otherwise, this kit can not be installed. For example, in the figures above, the left-side gap is 1.5mm, the right-side gap is 6mm, and the deviation is 4.5mm. The struts can be installed.
2. Disassembly of trunk interior panel
Use the panel pry bar to remove the panel along the perimeter of the tailgate trim.
3：Disassembly of trunk interior panel
First, open the inner cover of the tail box, and then remove the long panel on the lock (as indicated by the red arrow), and then remove the lock.
4：Disassembly of trunk interiorpanel
Pluck the trim panels on the up, left, and right sides.
5：Removal of the tail light plug
Remove the screws on the outside of the taillights. Pull out the nut and taillight plug on the inside of the taillight. (Use the same method on both sides). Warning: It is forbidden to pass the strut wire through the taillight light plug hole. If you do this, it may cause water leakage into the trunk, and the problem caused by this wrong installation would not cover by our company’s warranty.
6：Removal of the original trunk lift struts
Use a flat-blade screwdriver to pry open the ball retainer clips and remove the original left and right struts. Warning: When removing the original strut and installing the power struts, you must use a towel to protect the glass to avoid breaking the glass.
7. Installing the Power LiftStruts
The new power lift struts snap into the stock strut locations, locate the power wires on the bottom. Please rotate the top part of the strut to align the socket to the ball.
8：Wire route for strut motor
Route the strut motor wire down under the plastic trim, as shown by the arrow.
9：Power Strut wire path
Remove the tailgate assembly, bumper waterproof rubber strip, and rubber grommet; 2. Pass the fish tape from the small hole to the rubber strip gap.3. Use winding tape bind the strut wire with fish tape together;4. Pull the fish tape and strut wire out from the small hole.
10: Power Strut wire path cont.
Cut a small hole in the original car’s rubber gromit in this bumper area and pass the motor wire from the taillight area into the car. This will prevent any water from flowing into the car from the taillight area. (Use the same method on the left and right sides.)
11: Tail box lock removed
Mark the center position of the original car trunk lock, then remove the lock.
12: Install new powered soft-close mechanism.
The center of the electric suction lock should be aligned with the mark position and adjusted to the outermost position. When closing the trunk, confirm whether it is aligned with the upper lock machine. (If can not close the trunk, adjust the lock a little upwards as shown.)

(Note: as the tailgate button cable plug is thicker than the tube, disassemble the plug before passing the harness, be aware of the wire sequence inside as you have to restore the plug at the end of this step.) Restore the tailgate button cable into the plug. 2. To connect the longer main harness and shorter main harness. First, insert our motor plug and handle plug of the shorter main harness into the original motor plug and handle plug as figure 15 shows. Then connect the 2 main harnesses through connecting the 5 wires respectively according to the color, use electrical tapes at this step.

Optional tailgate button install position
You can install the power tailgate button here if you do not want to install the button on the tailgate.
After the installation is completed, the controller needs to be matched when the power is plugged in: the electric tailgate is adjusted to the highest position, and the tail button is pressed for 5 seconds. After a long beep, the button is released, indicating that the matching operation is completed. (If the power off requires a rematch operation).
Height Adjustment
Adjust the tailgate to the appropriate height, press and hold the tailgate button for 5 seconds, and hear a long beep that indicates the height setting is successful.
Speed Adjustment
The tailgate switch speed is divided into 5 gears, the default is 4 gears, the lowest 2 gears, and the highest 6 gears. Press and hold the tailgate button. When the buzzer sounds 2 consecutive sounds, it means that the speed setting 2 is successful. When the buzzer is heard for 3 consecutive sounds, the speed setting 3 is successful, and so on.
After the installation is completed, the controller needs to be matched when the power is plugged in: the electric tailgate is adjusted to the highest position, and the tail button is pressed for 5 seconds. After a long beep, the button is released, indicating that the matching operation is completed. (If the power off requires a rematch operation).
Note:
The installation instructions may differ slightly from the actual operation. If there are any differences, please follow the actual situation or contact us.
