Tesla Model 3 boot strut replacement

Electric Tailgate Repair – Fixed for £90

At KMC Electric, we specialise in repairing faulty electric boot struts on Tesla Model 3 vehicles.

This is a common issue we see, where the powered tailgate begins to struggle, becomes unreliable, or stops working correctly altogether.

The good news is — it’s a straightforward repair when diagnosed correctly, and we keep the parts in stock, allowing us to get you back on the road quickly.

Common Tesla Model 3 Boot Strut Faults

If your boot struts are starting to fail, you may notice:

• Boot struggling to open fully
• Slow or uneven movement when opening
• Boot not staying open
• Clicking or straining noises
• Tailgate failing to close properly
• Intermittent operation of the electric boot

In most cases, this issue develops gradually before the strut fails completely.

Why Fix It Early?

A failing boot strut is more than just inconvenient.

If left too long, it can:

• Put strain on the remaining strut
• Affect the tailgate mechanism
• Lead to complete failure of the boot opening system
• Become a safety issue when the boot won’t stay open

Fixing the issue early keeps everything working as it should and avoids further problems.
