This powered damper assists the automatic opening and
closing of the rear boot lid, providing smooth, controlled movement and
convenient access to the luggage compartment.
Designed as an original-style replacement, it is ideal for
repairing faulty, weak or damaged electric tailgate mechanisms and restoring
reliable operation of the powered boot lid.
What Does the Electric Boot Lid Damper Do?
The electric damper forms part of the powered tailgate
system, helping raise and lower the rear boot lid when operated using the
vehicle's tailgate controls.
It provides controlled movement and helps support the weight
of the boot lid during operation.
Why Does It Fail?
Over time, repeated operation, moisture and mechanical wear
can affect the electric drive mechanism and its associated components.
Common problems include:
- Internal
motor or drive mechanism failure
- Wear
within the actuator assembly
- Damaged
electrical connections or wiring
- Water
ingress and corrosion
- Increased
resistance or mechanical binding
When Should It Be Replaced?
Replacement may be necessary if you experience:
- Tailgate
failing to open or close automatically
- Slow,
uneven or jerky boot lid movement
- Unusual
clicking or grinding noises
- Tailgate
stopping partway through operation
- Intermittent
electric tailgate operation
Before replacement, inspect the electrical connections,
tailgate mechanism and relevant fault codes to confirm the cause.
For vehicles equipped with the compatible electrically
operated rear tailgate system.
Fitment may vary according to model year, equipment
specification and production changes. Confirm compatibility using the original
part number or vehicle VIN before ordering.
Installation Notes
The tailgate must be securely supported during replacement,
as unexpected movement can cause injury or damage.
After installation, the electric tailgate system may require
initialisation or recalibration according to Porsche workshop procedures.

deteriorate, causing slow operation, unusual noises or complete failure of the
powered opening mechanism.
