Electric Tailgate Rear Door Kit for Citroen Berlingo 2019-2026

The Berlingo carries a tall, flat rear door that swings up on twin struts, and on a van-based car the load floor sits high, so reaching the handle with an armful of boxes is awkward. This retrofit replaces the struts with a motorised pair and adds a control unit, letting the door open and close from the key fob, a dash button, the door handle or a kick under the rear bumper. Fixings use the factory hinge and ball stud positions, so no panel is drilled and the vehicle can be returned to manual operation.

Selling Points

• Electric Tailgate Kit Anti Pinch: resistance and current monitoring reverse the door the instant it meets an obstacle, and repeat triggering locks the system out to protect the motor.
• Automatic Trunk Opener Motorized: a geared motor pair lifts the door at a steady rate, holds the stored height and closes it under power instead of letting it drop.
• Car Electric Trunk Power Release: the module releases the factory latch electrically, so the door opens without pulling the handle.

Behaviour and Safety

• Anti pinch supervision runs continuously, and the door stops and reverses within a fraction of a second on contact.
• The control unit ignores commands unless the selector is in P, and cancels travel if the vehicle moves.
• Height presets suit multi storey car parks, loading docks and low canopies.
• Motor stall protection cuts current after a set time, preventing overheating on long cycles.
• Manual operation stays available if the battery is flat or the loom is disconnected.
• Connectors sit behind sealed grommets and the loom runs in split conduit for splash protection.

Technical Sheet

Fitment Notes

This version suits the Berlingo produced from 2019 to 2026, covering the passenger MPV and the van body where the rear door is hinged at the roof. Door strut length and hinge pickup differ on the earlier Berlingo III and on the Partner and Rifter twins built for other markets, so parts are not shared across those models. Send the VIN or the model year, body type and trim before ordering and we will confirm strut length and plug type.

Packing and Trade Support

Sets ship in a carton with foam shells, and hardware bags are numbered to match the fitting steps. Bench testing covers motor load cycling, latch calibration, loom continuity and anti pinch response. Trade buyers receive a 24 month defect warranty, spare motors, latches and control units kept in stock, and English remote diagnostics for installation teams.
