## Questions & Answers

**Q: have a cover on my bed that is mounted to a rail adjacent to the top of the fender.Will this unit install on my truck without interferring with rail?**
A: You haven't provided enough info.  have you been to Droptail website?  see the mountings and all the pics to make that determination. 
upper mount is attached to the bedrail as clearly seen.   I will say there hasn't been a cover that installers haven't been able to work with - at most requiring a simple flat plate to hold down an inch or so to clear  (see "Installations with Bed Covers" slideshow on droptail-installation-pictures.html page)

**Q: Can this be easily removed if you want**
A: Yes, it can, so that you could install it in your next truck.

**Q: Can you manually open and close when installed**
A: no - its connected to a linear actuator.

**Q: Hooked up the white wire to the (Speed out) wire but the tail will not open?**
A: Automatic mode mentioned in instruction manual as "optional" not offered here on Amazon.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐ Garbage
*by S***. on October 14, 2024*

I ordered a drop tail to allow my mother to have easier access to her truck bed as she ages. In the end I had to delete nearly all of the things that would make this system convenient to use.The manufacturer was quick to ask about getting my contact info, and email address, but then never returned any of my messages to them. Multiple phone calls and emails went unanswered. The website as listed is non existent.The brain box did not work, so the remote function of the tailgate drop would not work. After changing batteries in the remote, and checking power supply etc. I had the same outcome. The seller never replied or offered an exchange. To make it work at all I had to buy a DPDT momentary switch and rig that up in the bed of the truck. Much less convenient, but the actuator actually worked when I reengineered the control system.Next time, I would save myself time and hassle. Getting a 12 volt gate actuator at Tractor Supply would have posed less frustration, been less expensive and would have incurred the same work level to complete this project.Seller and product are really not worth your time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful Device
*by P***L on May 29, 2016*

No longer do I have to struggle to lift my truck's heavy tailgate to close it. Some fabricating (in the form of making a bracket) was required, for proper installation in my 2014 Mazda BT 50, but the device works like a charm

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ best thing money can buy
*by D***D on May 30, 2015*

best thing money can buy,it's easy to install and makes you forget about the way of struggling with a tailgate
