Power Liftgate Strut Kit
Retailer links:
Adds power open and close to the Model 3 trunk with a button, key fob, or kick sensor. Plug-and-play harness, no cutting required.
Buying Guide
Fit notes: This kit is built specifically for the Model 3 trunk, so it's a single-model part with no Y, S, or X variant. The strut geometry and harness routing are matched to the Model 3 deck lid, and the pre-2024 sedan and the Highland refresh have slightly different trunk hardware, so confirm your build year against the listing before ordering.
Install and what to know: Rated Advanced for good reason. Even though the harness is plug-and-play with no cutting, you're removing trunk trim panels, mounting struts at the hinges, and tapping into the latch and tail circuit, plus calibrating the kick sensor. Budget a few hours or have a shop handle it. The warranty is only one year, so test the open/close and pinch-stop behavior thoroughly while it's fresh.
