Firstly, I hope I've posted in the correct section...... My apologies if its conciderd OT.

I have an 08 Vito with glazed tailgate. I have a disability & finding it increasingly difficult to open/close the tailgate.

Could anyone recommend an electrically operated kit?

Many thanks,

Andy

Automated tailgate

I've looked into the various options posted. All appear to be around the £1500 mark, which I think is a little excessive given its basically a winch.......
I acquired a winch & rigged it up. The only difference is, I manually have to open the tailgate a little, allowing the winch to slowly open it against the struts. Closing similar. Not perfect, but £1400 cheaper!
