Remote control power tail door lift gate open retrofit · heavy duty actuator set
The Haval H8 is a full size seven seat SUV with a wide, tall tail door and a thick inner trim panel. Between 2014 and 2018 it was exported to Russia, Australia, South Africa, Saudi Arabia and Chile, and the great majority of those cars left the line with gas struts and a manual handle. A door of that size is awkward to lift with one hand and dangerous to let drop on a child or a dog, which is exactly the gap this retrofit fills.
Two heavy duty motorised actuators take the place of the original struts, driving from the factory remote, the tail door button and a switch on the dashboard. The hinge plates and latch striker are the original items, so the body shell is never drilled, welded or painted.
