Pop & Lock - Power Tailgate Lock

Posted By: Marshall L. (Henderson) on 08/2008

Installed easy in tailgate, however wiring information for my vehicle was wrong. I called up tech and they could not help. Offered return. Called Dealership for the coded wires for remote and it was like pulling teeth. After two weeks, finally working like a champ.

Good product. Not quite bolt-in-and-go: had to tweak things a bit to get a perfect fit but no big deal.
As long as the actuator on this thing holds up (which I have no reason to believe that it won't), this will be the perfect solution to locking the tailgate.

Ordering, shipping, and receiving of the power tailgate lock was great. The installation instructions were very good although the pictures of the door assembly were not the same as my door but it worked fine. I was impressed with the wiring harness as it was the perfect length. On the competing products you had to order the extended wiring harness seperately. Thank you! The only problem I'm having is that the lock doesn't lock the tailgate completely. If you lift up somewhat hard on the tailgate handel it will release it even with the gate locked. I'll probably need some thoughts from you as to how to adjust this. I won't need any assistance for a couple of months as the tailgate is off the truck so we can use the camper but I'll call in when we return and I put the cover and tailgate back on. Thanks again for your service and I'll look forward to working with technical support in October to adjust the lock.

Thanks, jeff Kligora

This is a great product. I was a little hard to install on a 2002 silverado because you had to do everything from were the handle is and when you add the after market handle it made it even harder. But it works great and the best part to me is you get the security without the bulky unattractive appearance. You can not tell it is there until you try to open the tailgate. Great product! Well worth the money!

Works well, once installed, but there's the catch. The provided cord is not long enough for a Megacab. I followed the brake wires to the cab and then drilled through the floor next to the emergency brake wire. I installed a small grommet I picked up at an auto parts store and I am very satisfied with the results. Note for installation on late model Dodges you will also need a door panel removal tool to take of the kick panel (where you splice into the door lock wires).

I installed this on my 2002 GMC Sierra and it's been working perfectly. The real test is always if it makes it through a Michigan winter, and I have to say I am very pleased with it. Installation went pretty good, the only thing that wasn't too pleasant was crawling around underneath the truck and having the undercarriage crap fall in your face. Other than that the directions for wiring everything up to work with your remote keyfob were pretty clear, so I would recommend this product.

As described. Works perfectly. Only disappointment is the lack of support for 2008 trucks. The wiring diagram is wrong and the tech line at the manufacturer is of no help. Hopefully they will update their documentation and provide an update online for future users. I had to figure out the wiring on my own with a test light!

Installation was a snap. Works exactly like it's supposed to.
