The T5 Evo builds on the T5 with updated styling, and its tailgate deserves an equally modern upgrade. This kit brings Decoin's quiet, obstacle-aware power lift to the T5 Evo, controlled by your existing key fob and tuned to remember your preferred opening height.
Decoin's Electric Tailgate Power Lift gives the T5 Evo a tailgate experience to match its updated design. A whisper-quiet motor handles the lifting and lowering, so opening the rear hatch becomes a smooth, effortless motion instead of a manual pull.
The system actively senses resistance while the tailgate closes - a bag, a box, anything left in the path - and automatically pauses and reopens rather than forcing through. Reinforced double bar support, beyond factory spec, keeps the T5 Evo's hatch stable and evenly balanced on both sides.
Operate the T5 Evo's tailgate with your existing key fob, a button by the driver's seat, or a control on the tailgate itself - no extra remote to manage. It also remembers your preferred open height, so a single long press locks in a setting that suits your garage.
The kit mounts using ordinary hand tools, with a clear manual (paper or digital) guiding each step, so most T5 Evo owners can install it themselves without a workshop visit.
Automatic operation, gesture control, height adjustability, obstacle detection, memory function, one-touch operation, anti-pinch protection, hands-free and foot-activated opening, key fob remote control, jam protection, and soft-close.
Is the T5 Evo's kit different from the standard T5's? Yes, it's matched to the T5 Evo's specific tailgate dimensions and hinge points, which differ slightly from the standard T5.
Can I keep the T5 Evo's factory tailgate emblem or trim? Yes, the kit installs behind the panel and doesn't require removing exterior trim or badging.
Does cold weather affect the lift's operation? The motor and mechanism are built to operate reliably across normal seasonal temperature ranges.
