In this installation tutorial, we are breaking down the step-by-step process for retrofitting an Electric Power Tailgate Lift System on the Mercedes-Benz E-Class W213. We’ll walk you through removing the trunk liner trim, swapping out the stock gas struts for motorized power shafts, routing the CAN-bus signal harness, and mounting the tailgate control switch. You'll gain full push-button control straight from your factory key fob, driver-side cabin switch, or tailgate inner button.

If you're planning a DIY weekend project for your personal car, or if you run an auto retrofitting shop looking to stock these high-demand upgrades for your local market, hit the link below for full product specs, fitment verification, and wholesale inquiries.
