Electric Power Tailgate Boot Opener Soft Close Kit Automatic Boot Opening for Ford Mustang 2018 Foot Sensor

This electric power tailgate boot opener converts the manual luggage lid of the Ford Mustang 2018 into a soft-close automatic system. The kit combines a 12V brushless drive motor, a soft-close latch module and an optional foot detection sensor, so the boot can be released from the factory key fob, the cabin trunk button or a light kick under the rear bumper. The soft-close function pulls the lid gently into the lock instead of slamming, protecting the paint and the latch over thousands of cycles, while the plug-and-play harness keeps the original wiring intact for a clean retrofit.

Key Selling Points

• Soft Close Boot: The powered latch draws the lid in smoothly at the end of travel, eliminating the hard slam that wears out hinges and trim.
• Foot Detection Sensor: A hands-free kick sensor opens the boot when your hands are full, with a configurable 0.5-1s delay to avoid false triggers.
• Automatic Boot Opening: One press on the remote or trunk button raises the lid to the programmed height and holds it there.
• Complete Conversion Kit: Includes drive motor, soft-close latch, control module, struts, vehicle-specific brackets, harness and fasteners.
• Anti-Pinch Safety: Obstacle detection reverses the lid instantly, and the system is disabled unless the car is parked with the brake applied.
• Programmable Height: Set the opening angle to suit low garages and covered parking.

Technical Specifications

Fitment & Applications

Designed for the Ford Mustang 2018 coupe and convertible, this boot opener suits owners, dealers and tuning shops that want hands-free access to the luggage compartment. The soft-close mechanism is especially useful on cars with a rear spoiler or a heavy trunk lid, where a manual close can be awkward. Because the factory latch wiring and central locking are retained, the vehicle keeps its original security behaviour.

Packing & Quality

Each kit ships in a foam-lined export carton with labelled fastener bags. Every unit is function-tested before dispatch, covering motor load, harness continuity and sensor calibration. A 2-year warranty is included, together with installation guidance for overseas workshops.
