Upgrade or restore the automatic tailgate functionality on your Volvo XC40 with this pair of left-hand and right-hand electric tailgate struts. These struts (OEM/aftermarket equivalents for part numbers 32296296 / 32296297) are designed to support the powered opening and closing of the tailgate — eliminating the struggle of manual operation. Over time, the original struts may fail, become noisy, or lose pressure, which can cause alignment issues or even prevent the boot from fully closing. Installing this pair brings back smooth, reliable powered lift operation for your XC40.

FAQs 


1. Which XC40 models do these struts fit?

These struts are compatible with Volvo XC40 (Type 536) models across a range of trims — including petrol, diesel, mild-hybrid, and even the pure-electric “Recharge” versions.

2. What are the part numbers for these struts?
The compatible / referenced OEM part numbers include 32296296 (left) and 32296297 (right).

3. What are the common signs that these struts need replacing?

  • Clicking, grinding, or humming noises when the tailgate opens or closes.

  • Tailgate only partially opens or fails to stay open.

  • Rust or oil streaks on the struts, indicating seal failure.

  • Boot not closing properly or misaligning.

4. Is this a plug-and-play replacement?
Yes — according to Volvo XC40 owners who’ve replaced their struts, the newer struts plug in without needing ECU reprogramming. However, correct alignment and careful installation are important for safe operation.

5. Are there safety considerations when installing electric tailgate struts?
Yes. The struts are under pre-tension and are powered, so:

  • Support the tailgate securely while working to avoid it dropping.

  • Disconnect the battery or disable power to avoid accidental activation.

  • Follow OEM or professional torque / mounting guidance to avoid misalignment or stress on the system.

6. Will replacing both struts help even if only one is failing?
Many owners recommend replacing both at once to ensure even support and avoid imbalance, especially because strut failure can stress the remaining unit.

7. Do I need to reset anything in the car after installing new struts?
After installing, you may want to:

  • Cycle the tailgate a few times to check for correct closing / opening behaviour.

  • Use the tailgate close button and possibly perform a “height reset” if the vehicle supports it (some XC40s allow setting the tailgate's open height).

  • Check for alignment or any unusual noises during operation.

8. Does this part come with a warranty?
Warranty terms depend on the retailer. For the D2P listing, check the product page for their warranty policy.

9. Why choose this pair of struts over non-powered (manual) ones?

  • Restores the powered tailgate functionality (auto open / close).

  • Eliminates the extra effort or risk of failure if one side is weak.

  • Designed to match the original power design — better longevity than pushing manual struts to do powered work.

10. What happens if I don’t replace failing electric struts?
If left unchecked:

  • The tailgate might not open fully or reliably.

  • Struts can groan, fail, or leak.

  • Risk of misalignment or additional strain on the motor or hinges.
