Auto Tail Lift

Featured Replies

Has anyone tried these, range in price from £17 - 90 quid. Handy when you get back to the car with your hands full.

 



If your hands are full how do you press the button on the fob?

i do like that feature, just done my food shopping and my hands was full but i still had my key in my hand, managed to press the boot door button but i still had to lift the door open.

would be alot easier if i had this function.

More than likely emerald struts they use a helper spring which is some cases can warp the tailgate and cause the rear windscreen to shatter.

Yes the emeralds are the most expensive ones, hence i priced from £17 which i think are just springs, to the emeralds at £90 which are springs and struts, wasnt aware of the issues so may give it a swerve.
