Automatic Power Tailgate Lift Kit and Electric Automatic Boot Opener

Description

Automatic Power Tailgate Lift Kit & Electric Boot Opener — NZ

Upgrade your vehicle with a power tailgate that opens and closes at the touch of a button. The Automatic Power Tailgate Lift Kit is an aftermarket electric tailgate (also searched as an automatic boot opener and closer kit or electric boot opener kit) that adds the hands-free, motorised boot found on new SUVs to almost any vehicle — operated from your key fob, an in-car button, or a button on the tailgate itself.

It is a practical convenience upgrade for any driver, and especially helpful for anyone who finds reaching up and pulling down a heavy tailgate difficult. Power tailgates are now common on SUVs, hatchbacks, minivans and sedans — this kit brings the same convenience to your existing vehicle.

What Is a Power Tailgate Lift Kit?

A power tailgate lift is a motorised system that opens and closes your boot or hatch electronically, instead of you lifting and lowering it by hand. You activate it from the original key fob, a button inside the car, or a touch button on the tailgate. The system can be disabled at any time if you prefer to close the hatch manually, and it works in all weather.

Key Features

• Key fob operation – open and close using your vehicle’s original remote
• One-touch button – also operable from inside the car or a button on the tailgate
• Soft close and auto-lock – the hatch closes smoothly and locks automatically
• Anti-pinch safety – the tailgate bounces back if it senses an obstacle while closing
• Adjustable open height – set how far the tailgate opens to suit your garage and height
• Audible alert – sounds while opening and closing for added safety
• No hydraulics – an electric system with no fluid plumbing or hydraulic upkeep
• Works in all weather – reliable in rain or shine

Who It Suits

A power tailgate is a convenience upgrade for any driver, and is particularly useful if lifting or closing a heavy boot lid is difficult — for example when your hands are full with shopping, when you are loading the car on your own, or simply for everyday ease. It brings modern, hands-free convenience to an older vehicle.

How It Works

The system integrates with your vehicle’s key fob and existing tailgate. Press the remote, the in-car button, or the touch button on the hatch, and the tailgate opens or closes on its own. It includes a soft-close function, automatic locking, and an obstacle-detection feature that reverses the tailgate if something is in the way. The open height is adjustable so it suits your garage clearance and your reach.

Package Features

• Open and close from the original remote control or key fob
• Auto-lock with soft-close hatch
• Touch button on the tailgate to open and close
• Automatic obstacle detection — the tailgate reverses if it senses something while closing
• Customisable open height to suit your vehicle and garage
• Audible alert while opening and closing
