    HANSSHOW Trunk Liftgate v3 install

    I finally finished installing both my trunk and trunk Hansshow kits. I installed the foot sensor on both too. I got their very latest kits about 6 weeks ago, which IIRC is V4 on the trunk and V3 on frunk... I’ve paid less attention to the versioning stuff recently since I already received it. In...

    Hansshow vs Tesla Offer Power Frunk/Trunk - which one to buy?

    @tlr1000 @kiNGng3 FYI I think that @Cici.Hung works for Hansshow. I ordered from Hansshow and I got the DIY kit with the wires that have to be joined, and I actually really appreciated that because it meant it was much easier to fish the cable up to the trunk lid, and then join the cables...

    Hansshow vs Tesla Offer Power Frunk/Trunk - which one to buy?

    Hmm my hansshow install (which is surely the same as the TO install) required no lights removal, no bumper removal, and only a quick removal of the weather strip in some short sections, which was easily pushed back in place again. The *only* difficult part was fishing through the tight gap down...

    Hansshow vs Tesla Offer Power Frunk/Trunk - which one to buy?

    @tlr1000 FYI I read that the HS canbus connector, with two identical plug options hanging off it, is done like that because HS sells other stuff (the soft close door kit I think) that wants to tap into the same place (so if you owned the motor trunk and the soft door kit then you'd need to use...

    Hansshow vs Tesla Offer Power Frunk/Trunk - which one to buy?

    Frugal Tesla Guy and Tesla Raj collaborated on a nice YouTube video here. They did a really nice job. They tried really hard to also talk about the latest capabilities of both kits, beyond what they each actually have installed. I can pick quite a few holes in their video, but it's still a...

    Hansshow vs Tesla Offer Power Frunk/Trunk - which one to buy?

    They have the wire joining step because they intentionally cut their trunk lid harness cable in half. This allows for a much easier fishing experience to just fish wire ends up to the lid, instead of connectors which are bulky. After you’ve fished the bare wires up, you then connect them to the...

    Hansshow vs Tesla Offer Power Frunk/Trunk - which one to buy?

    Are you sure? You can only really see it if you watch from an awkward angle as the trunk closes, or you close it manually so it stops half way and you can inspect. Typically no-one would ever see it was happening during normal motorized usage, but they would see the damage if it happened.

    HANSSHOW Trunk Liftgate v3 install

    I just applied the Sonax GuumiPfledger to the rubber weather seal that's around the glass roof edge where the struts are. While it seems like good treatment for rubber in general, I'm not sure it will be all that effective in avoiding what looks like a slight pinching effect that the Hansshow...

    Hansshow vs Tesla Offer Power Frunk/Trunk - which one to buy?

    ok sorry, this forum mangles the YouTube "start at" links so I ended up just pasting the same video link twice. But to help here are the strut comparisons: Hansshow at 1m24s Tesla Offer at 8m32s

    Hansshow vs Tesla Offer Power Frunk/Trunk - which one to buy?

    The Tesla Offer strut part to compare to is at 8m 34s in the same video so you're right, it does look compellingly better in that regard. I just purchased the Sonax gummiPfleger that was recommended for trying to avoid the Hansshow strut damage to the rubber seal (it's a rubber treatment...

    Hansshow vs Tesla Offer Power Frunk/Trunk - which one to buy?

    I'm not saying you're wrong, but I thought I saw that Tesla Offer's struts also contact the weather stripping and may also cause issues with it. Perhaps less so but I wasn't convinced one was better than the other. This is where Tesla Offer compare the two though in case anyone wants to watch...

    HANSSHOW Trunk Liftgate v3 install

    When I get finished I am going to try and put together a concise summary that explains what parts of the install are at all difficult. There's videos and other people's thoughts out there so you can probably gather that anyway, but I just want to summarize it in case it will help. Also a lot of...

    HANSSHOW Trunk Liftgate v3 install

    Simply haven’t tried it yet. Super easy to wire in but it would seem that I absolutely have to remove the bumper if I want to install it , so a lot of hassle and more I want to research before tackling
