Foot Sensor Tailgate Lift Assist for Peugeot 3008 P84 2017-2024

This kit adds a hands-free foot-sensor trigger to the tailgate of the Peugeot 3008 built between 2017 and 2024, and drives the door open and closed with a pair of motorised lift assists. The control box is pre-flashed for the 3008 body computer, so no coding session is needed after fitting: connect the fused power lead, plug the two actuator connectors into the supplied harness, mount the sensor behind the bumper cover, and the system is live. Owners who load the boot daily — shopping, sports gear, sample cases — can open it without putting anything down.

Three Highlights Buyers Ask About First

• Electric trunk lift assist — two calibrated actuators replace the gas struts and raise the tailgate under power, taking the load off the shoulder for shorter drivers and older users.
• Automatic trunk opener and closer — the same control box handles opening and closing, so the door can be shut remotely from the cabin or with the key, which matters in rain and when the door is out of reach.
• Auto tailgate foot sensor kit — the capacitive strip reads a forward kick and ignores sideways sweeps, splashes and pets; a status beep confirms the trigger before the door moves.
• Obstruction detection on both strokes — opening as well as closing is monitored, so a low beam or a raised garage door stops the tailgate instead of damaging the panel.
• Original key retained — the factory remote keeps working; nothing is reprogrammed and the vehicle remains diagnosable with standard Peugeot service tools.
• Serviceable design — actuators, sensor strip and control box are separate part numbers, so a failed component can be swapped without replacing the whole kit.

Parameters

Shop-Floor Notes

Two people are recommended for the first installation because the tailgate must be supported while the struts are removed, but the job itself is mechanical and electrical only. The sensor strip mounts on the inner face of the rear bumper with the supplied bracket; a 20-minute relearn procedure sets the read distance to the owner's normal kick position. All fasteners are stainless, and the harness sleeve is rated for engine-bay temperature so it can be routed along the factory path without extra heat shielding.

Buyer Profile

Parts wholesalers supplying French-vehicle specialists, retail accessory chains, rental and chauffeur fleets, and independent garages that resell fitment labour. Markets with strong 3008 density include France, Spain, Italy, Poland, Turkey and Brazil, and a single SKU covers both the pre-facelift and facelift body because the strut geometry did not change across the 2017-2024 run.

Carton and After-Sales

Kits are protected by moulded pulp trays inside a printed carton, then palletised in five-ply master boxes; each carton lists the part numbers of the three serviceable modules for easy reordering. Function testing covers 300 open-close cycles, sensor trigger reliability, current draw in sleep mode and obstruction reversal force. Production follows ISO 9001:2015, warranty is 12 months on the sensor strip and 24 months on the actuators, and a bilingual fitting guide ships in every box.
