❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are electric tailgate gas struts and why are they used?
A: Electric tailgate gas struts (also known as power‑lift supports) use gas‑spring technology combined with motorized actuation to raise and lower the rear liftgate automatically. They take the weight off your hands, provide smooth and controlled movement, and prevent the tailgate from slamming — improving safety and convenience.

Q: Which vehicles is this pair compatible with?
A: This kit fits BMW X6 models with chassis codes F16 or F86 produced roughly between 2014 and 2019. Always verify your car’s build date and existing part numbers before ordering to ensure compatibility.

Q: What are the signs that the tailgate struts need replacing?
A: Symptoms of worn or failing tailgate struts include: tailgate not opening fully; tailgate falling or slamming shut when opened; excessive heaviness or resistance when opening manually; or the automatic tailgate failing to operate reliably.

Q: Does this product include both left and right struts?
A: Yes — the listing provides a pair of struts (left and right), ensuring balanced support. Replacing both sides at the same time helps restore proper tailgate function and avoids putting uneven stress on one side.

Q: Will installing these struts restore automatic tailgate function to original condition?
A: If the issue is due to worn or failing struts (not structural or electronic faults elsewhere), replacing them will usually restore smooth, automatic opening and closing, correct lift support, and safe boot operation — returning the tailgate to OEM‑like performance.

Q: Is installation difficult — can I do it myself?
A: Installing tailgate struts requires care because you must safely support the tailgate while removing the old struts (to prevent it falling). While a mechanically‑savvy DIYer with the right tools can do it, many owners opt for professional installation, especially for electric power‑lift tailgates, to avoid damage and ensure correct alignment and operation.
