Power Liftgate Retrofit for the Peugeot 3008 T84

The first-generation 3008 (T84, 2009-2016) left the factory with a heavy manual tailgate and a single gas strut pair that loses pressure after a few winters. This retrofit swaps that arrangement for a powered system: two motorised actuators, a control module, a plug-in harness and vehicle-specific brackets. The module is delivered pre-configured for the T84 body, so the installer connects power, plugs in the actuators and the tailgate responds to the key, the cabin switch and the handle — no dealer coding and no diagnostic tool required.

Product Highlights

• Automatic power liftgate retrofit — the hatch lifts and lowers under motor power with soft-start at the bottom and a damped stop at the top, so the panel never bangs against the roof line.
• Electric tailgate kit, complete in one box — actuators, control module, harness, brackets, fuses and fasteners are packed together; there is no second order for missing hardware.
• Auto rear boot opener with three triggers — key fob, dashboard button and the original handle switch all work, and the factory remote does not need to be replaced or cloned.
• Soft close on the final stroke — the latch is drawn in electrically, so a light push is enough and the seal seats evenly, which also cuts water ingress on ageing T84 tailgates.
• Obstacle reversal — motor current is monitored continuously; contact with a person or an object stops and reverses the movement within a fraction of a second.
• Height setting — the opening angle can be limited for low carports, and the setting is remembered after the battery is disconnected.

Specifications

Trade Terms for Distributors

Sold as a single SKU covering the full T84 production run, which keeps stock keeping simple for wholesalers serving multiple model years. Minimum order is 2 sets so buyers can test the market alongside an existing order; mixed pallets with other Peugeot liftgate references are accepted at no extra consolidation charge. Cartons are printed to buyer artwork on orders above 200 sets, and neutral packaging is available for own-brand sellers. Prices run from US$150 to US$230 per set depending on quantity and packaging.

Installation and Compatibility Notes

The T84 tailgate trim is clipped, not screwed, so the job needs a trim tool rather than a drill. Bracket positions reuse the original strut studs and the harness follows the factory loom path through the rubber grommet above the hinge. Recommended labour is 2 hours for a first fit and around 50 minutes for a repeat unit. The kit is fully reversible: refit the original struts and the vehicle returns to factory specification, which matters for leased and part-exchanged cars.

Packing, Testing and Warranty

Each set is packed in a printed carton with die-cut foam, then in a five-ply export carton with edge protectors. Bench testing covers 400 open and close cycles, reversal force verification, sleep current measurement and a 30-minute continuous-duty run. Production is ISO 9001:2015 certified, the warranty runs 24 months on actuators and 12 months on the control module, and spare parts are stocked for after-sales replacement.
