Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This Stabilus Electric Tailgate Strut (277294) is specifically designed for the left side of Tesla Model Y (5YJY) vehicles manufactured from March 2019 onwards. Always verify your vehicle's VIN and original part numbers before purchase to ensure correct fitment.
Installation: Due to the integrated POWERISE® technology, installation of this electric tailgate strut typically requires specialized knowledge and tools. It involves connecting electrical wiring and ensuring proper mechanical alignment. Professional installation by a qualified mechanic or an authorized service center is strongly recommended to prevent damage to the vehicle or the strut itself, and to ensure correct functionality.
Care: The exterior of the strut should be kept clean. Periodically wipe it with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the finish. Ensure that the mounting points remain clean and free of obstruction. No lubrication is required for the power mechanism.
