🔐 Power Tailgate Lock for Chevy/GMC (New Body) - Pop & Lock PL8120Q Review

I really like the lock function, but I have doubts about the overall quality of the device. I installed one four (4) years ago and the magnet stopped working and the tailgate stayed in the latched position. . I couldn't move it and had to manually "break into" the back of my truck. I have a trunk lid on a Flip-Bac II that requires the tailgate to be lowered to open the lid. I received a new block and found that the holes in the PL8120Q needed to be widened to allow the tailgate studs to go…

So I fitted this and it works fine for now. As others have said, the pre-filled holes need to be drilled to a larger diameter as the current bolts on my 10 year old Silverado were larger than the hole. I checked it in the middle of the installation, not before. So it was pain. The cabling was long enough to run all the way up front and through the firewall. I had to swap the wires on the switch to make it work the way I wired it, locking and unlocking where it switched. Also, the worst part was

How: Locks and unlocks the tailgate with the key fob. Wiring is ok. Dislikes: The instructions are very poor quality and generic. The video on the manufacturer's website was also bad. I had to drill more mounting holes. The drive is not the one in the photo, nor from the manufacturer. Make a goal, but expect some modification for assembly. It is recommended to paint/powder coat the brackets prior to installation. I will disassemble it to paint the brackets. craftsmanship and quality. We'll see…

1) The instructions were clumsy, incomplete and "blurry" 2) The screw holes were too small and had to be drilled 3) The design is such that when you lock it, you lock it can't unlock it with a key. than 1 week, unfortunately in a closed condition. Since I can't open it with the key and I can't get to the other side because of the trunk lid, I'm lost. I'll try to find out tomorrow if it's not 100 degrees outside. 5) According to others, if it is bought online like Revain, they will not guarantee

instructions 0 volts with ignition off and constant 5.75 volts with ignition on. This setting didn't work for me. I had to stretch the wires into the driver's door and screw them into the wiring harness that went to the lock actuator. The purple wire found was the lock, and the gray wire (there are two of them, so you'll need to check which one) is the unlock wire. I also had to drill mounting holes, others are indicated. Eventually, the slider will rub against one of the stopper rod guide…

I ordered this because I read reviews about the product. When I received the new box, opened it up and started reading the installation instructions, the photos could have been a little better. Went to www and they were in color but not much better. And then I came to the warranty conditions. I was a little annoyed with the following statement which I copied and pasted from paper. (Please note: Pop & Lock™ items purchased from auction sites such as eBay, Revain and Craigslist etc. are under no…

In terms of functionality. I give him c. It opens and locks the tailgate with a keyless remote. However, this renders the manual key lock unusable. As for the installation, I give it FI, it's modeled, wired and tested and it works, but the key doesn't work anymore. The instructions are pretty bad. I'll give them a D. The instructions are a bit incomplete and lack specific details. The images are blurry and almost unusable. They have to guess which wires on their wiring harness go to the…

When I received the Pop & Lock back door lock, it had a limited warranty terms sheet on it stating that if it is used at Bought from sites like ebay, revain, craigslist etc so it's doubtful they will guarantee anything like this sold by revain. The kit includes an electrical wire that extends out of the tailgate for over 4 feet before there is a decoupling plug. I ended up cutting it shorter and soldering a new connection so the whole wire doesn't hang down, or pulling it through a hole that…

Installation went relatively smoothly although I have extensive experience with cars so this may be more of an issue for others. I have two specific setup cons and one annoyance. Overall I think this product will work properly and help deter tailgate theft and it's worth $100. 1) The mounting screw holes were too small. I spent a good 5 minutes trying to figure out why I couldn't push the bolts through and realized they were too small. It's ok, measure the screws and drill bigger holes. I…
