How does the Kia tailgate work?

The tailgate, also known as the liftgate is the hatch at the back of your Sorento. This hatch gives you easy access to the rear seats. Here are the major parts that make up the tailgate assembly:

  • Shell: This part is the metal frame of the door. If the exterior is dinged but not broken, you can replace just this part.
  • Window: Depending on your needs, you can replace the rear window separately or with the tailgate door.
  • Locking Mechanism: This part rests inside the door and allows you to lock and unlock the tailgate. You can replace this mechanism separately or as part of the door.
  • Struts: These thin metal arms let you raise and lower the heavy door with hydraulic assistance. You can replace the left and right sides separately or at the same time. If needed, you can also replace the attached brackets separately.
  • Hinges: The left and right hinges carry the weight of the door and can be replaced separately or as a pair.
  • Trim: As part of the interior and exterior of your car, these covers help you seal in the gaps. While not critical to operation, worn tailgate trim make your Sorento less attractive, less sound-proofed, and more vulnerable to water damage.
