Key Benefits — Why Choose These Electric Tailgate Struts

• Effortless, Button‑Operated Tailgate Access — Electric struts restore automatic opening/closing of your SUV’s tailgate, saving you from manual lifting — especially useful when your hands are full.

• Smooth & Controlled Motion — No Sudden Slams or Drops — The internal gas‑spring mechanism and damping control ensure a gentle and stable lift and descent, avoiding abrupt closing or tailgate “slams.”

• Improved Safety — Anti‑Pinch & Smart Control (Where Supported) — Many modern electric tailgate systems (including those using such struts) include safety features that stop or reverse motion if an obstacle is detected, protecting users, pets or cargo.

• Restore Factory‑Level Functionality & Vehicle Value — Replacing worn or failed tailgate struts returns your BMW X6 to its original convenience level — essential if you want proper functionality or are preparing for resale.

• Durable OEM‑Quality Replacement — Better Than Worn-Out Units — Designed to match OEM part numbers and specifications, these struts offer reliable long‑term service and avoid repeated replacements

• Convenience for Daily Use or Heavy Loads — Perfect for frequent users — family, luggage/cargo loading, shopping or travel — removes the need to manually lift a heavy tailgate, making loading/unloading easier and safer

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What does “electric tailgate gas struts” mean — how do they differ from regular struts?
A: These struts combine compressed‑gas support with an electric motorised lift mechanism, allowing the tailgate to open/close automatically at the press of a button (or via remote). Traditional gas struts only offer passive support and require manual lifting.

Q: When should I replace my tailgate struts on a BMW X6?
A: Common reasons to replace: tailgate fails to open or close properly, it opens slowly or unevenly, won’t stay open or falls down, or the boot won’t latch/hold — all signs the original struts have lost pressure or the motorised lift mechanism has failed.

Q: Is installation complicated? Do I need special tools or coding?
A: Typically replacement involves removing old struts and bolting the new pair in place. Because these are direct‑fit replacements for X6 (with matching OEM numbers), no major modifications are required. However, if the tailgate is motorised, a functional check of the electric lift and associated sensors/controls is recommended afterward.

Q: Will replacing the struts fix all boot/tailgate issues?
A: It will fix issues caused by worn/faulty struts (lifting failure, uneven motion, inability to hold tailgate open). But if failures are due to electronic control unit (ECU), wiring, latch mechanism or sensor issues, those may also need inspection or replacement.

Q: Are these struts safe — will the tailgate slam shut or injure someone?
A: No — quality electric/gas struts include damping mechanisms that control closing speed and often safety features (anti‑pinch sensors or auto‑stop on contact) to prevent sudden slams or accidental closure.

Q: Why buy from D2P Autoparts rather than used or generic struts?
A: D2P Autoparts offers a new, OEM‑spec replacement pair at competitive pricing — giving reliable, long‑lasting performance and restoring original convenience, instead of risking repeated failures or uncertain condition from used or low‑grade parts.
