Electric Tailgate Actuators Volvo XC40 T4 T5

Volvo XC40 T4 T5 electric tailgate struts — restore your trunk to its original operation

These Volvo XC40 electric tailgate struts restore the smooth, quiet, and perfectly controlled opening your Swedish SUV had when it was new. Electric tailgate support for Volvo XC40 T4 T5 2018-2021, original part numbers 32296296 / 32296297. A tailgate that lowers on its own, opens unevenly, or stops mid-stroke turns every loading task into a daily annoyance: this set of struts solves the problem at the source.

A part that restores the comfort of your XC40

The powered tailgate is one of those features whose value you only realize when it starts to fail. With a new electric tailgate strut for XC40 on each side, the stroke becomes smooth and consistent from start to finish, without binding or slamming at the end. The tailgate remains stable in the open position, even in cold weather and even when the vehicle is loaded, and the power closing regains its smoothness. For a family SUV opened several times a day, the difference is noticeable from the very first use.

Material, build quality and durability

Designed as a direct replacement for the original Volvo XC40 tailgate struts, these supports use the existing mounting points and connector. The metal body and treated rod resist corrosion, road salt, and thermal cycles — exactly the conditions that cause a worn strut to lose pressure. The gas spring maintains its lifting force over time, even on a tailgate equipped with a spoiler or accessories that add weight.

• Volvo XC40 T4 and T5 electric tailgate struts — model years 2018 to 2021
• Original part numbers 32296296 and 32296297 — unambiguous identification before ordering
• Direct replacement without modification — original mounting points and connector retained
• Resistant to corrosion and road salt — the classic failure in damp winters
• Smooth stroke and maintenance of the open position — no more tailgates lowering on your fingers
• Preserves the motor mechanism — a healthy strut prevents wear on the most expensive part

Installation and compatibility on your Volvo XC40

Installation is done by direct replacement, with the tailgate supported, working on one side at a time. Disconnect the plug, release the mounting ball joints, position the new strut, then reconnect before checking several opening and closing cycles. Check your vehicle's exact engine (T4 or T5) and the presence of the factory electric tailgate before ordering. On some vehicles, a tailgate stroke relearning is required after the intervention: your workshop performs the operation in a few minutes.

Should both struts be replaced at the same time?

This is strongly recommended, and for a simple mechanical reason: two struts of different ages do not develop the same force. The new side pushes harder, the worn side follows with a delay, and the tailgate twists — which prematurely wears the hinges, misaligns the body gaps, and can cause the motor to stop unexpectedly. Since both XC40 tailgate struts have undergone the same number of cycles, the second one usually fails shortly after the first: replacing them as a pair avoids a second intervention in the near future.
