Re: Power Liftgate
I spoke with one of the manufacturers today. I was wrong, the shorter actuator is rated @ 250 lbs. I asked if only having one on one side would torque the liftgate and he said it might be best to go with 2 (one on each side). I don't know if that's true or if he just wants to sell me a second (expensive) actuator. For the door latch, he said I could probably use a less expensive (lower mass capacity) actuator, but that I needed to feel how much push was needed to trigger the latch. I guess I'll need to tear open the door skin and find out. He also sent me a spec sheet for the actuator. I need to see if the width will fit into the gas strut cavity. TBC...
