Thank you so much! it worked exactly as shown! Bless you! I used the Ford part as shown in the other video and it's working flawlessly, I put the cable tie and all. The only thing I'd recommend is those pins that fall off at the beginning, it's easier to place them on the tailgate than inside the part you pull out. As a benefit, it also helps you align the holes where the screws go in.

I got this kit from LRPassion shortly after you published this video which BTW was most useful to me. Interestingly my 2014 D4 did not have a cover on the actuator. I had the car since new and I was clearly the first one to access it. They must have either run out of covers the day my car was assembled in the UK or they decided in the later models that it was not needed and saved a few cents? Made fitting the kit easier anyway. I just had to make up a small plate to keep the black clip thing from moving out of place but that was simple. I used the spare stud that would have been used to secure the cover if I had one. Thanks for making the video.

Curious if anyone else has gone to replace the actuator and found the black cover was missing? My gate was stuck closed and when I got my hand in there I was able to reach right around the back and pull the cable since the cover was gone. It was a tremendous help so installed the new actuator without the cover. I guess the only downside is some dust could affect the actuator in the long run?
