BEWARE of the interior panel replacement!!!! .....So I just replaced these on our 2018 Yukon. Replacing the struts/actuator is the EASY part! The trick part is replacing the interior door panel ( that you have to remove in order to reconnect the wire connector). This was the only video I found that showed removal of the panel (at all) - so kudos for that! But, none of the videos show putting the interior panel back on ... Now I know why!!! It is a problem. After a lot of pulling/time... I was able to carefully pull and remove the panel without breaking anything ... but putting it back on was another story. In reality, to reinstall, you either have to break a plastic pin on the panel so you can slide the panel back on the clips. Or, you need to remove all the clips from the metalwork - install them on the plastic interior panel first - and then snap it back in place on the liftgate. There are 5 clips on the top of the panel and one each side (so 7 in total). The clips will likely get torn up when you remove them - so you will need to order new ones (if you want them to be tight - and no rattles). Here is link I used on Amazon to order the replacement clips: www.amazon.com/Rexka-Moulding-Reinforcement-11547026-Chevrolet/dp/B07BHKRKR4/ref=asc_df_B07BHKRKR4/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312697294768&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=691316465009221464&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9026816&hvtargid=pla-568348903136&psc=1. This takes 5 mins to replace the struts - and 20 mins to replace the interior panel (assuming you already have the replacement clips in hand). Good luck... hope this helps. And let me/us know if you find a different or better way!
Appreciate the content and topic! Question though: do you have to do the relearn (if so, this becomes much less of a DIY)? Some other suggestions for next time: show reinstallation of the panel; show closeups of the clips on the panel, the struts, and the wiring connector. This would make it easier to know how it engages/disengages - and thus how/where to press, pull etc. Like I said, good content - overall I appreciate the video - but some additional details would make it even more helpful.
Thank you so much for your suggestion. You can relearn the liftgate manually. Starting 5:48mins on the video clips until the end. That's the procedures manually..

I didn't need to replace those clips. Mine came out of the metal and stayed on the plastic moulding. I didn't even take it all the way off.
Thank you for sharing videos about Yukon and Tahoe
Thanks a lot.
I will share and subscribe your videos.
Mine easily unlatches at latch. But only opens abt 5 inches (over time), and you cant force open. Is there a way to release it so we can repair??
Nice job but where is the self rapper that you are supposed to install into the old shock as per SI?
Where is your workshop?

Thank you very much. I have one question , did you change both side or only the left side?
Just left side only.
@@ejmegzcarvlog7226 why? How can I know which side is not working? and after change should I do programming for it? Thanka a lot
