Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the D2P strut, you must ensure the vehicle is parked on level ground and the battery is disconnected for safety. Access the rear tailgate pillar by removing the trim panels carefully to avoid damaging plastic clips. Swap the old spindle drive with the new D2P unit, ensuring all electrical connectors are seated firmly and the locking pins are secured. Once installed, it is recommended to perform a tailgate reset via the vehicle's diagnostic software or the manufacturer's manual procedure to recalibrate the motor's stop points. Maintain the strut by keeping the spindle area free of excessive road grit and debris.
