Just finished installing one of the kits from the online store (ordered off ebay).
Gotta say - quality product, really fast shipping and easy to follow instructions.
Took me just under an hour (took my time) and I'm so happy with the result.
Loved the fact that it came with everything needed for the install (including torx bit, drill bit, screws, and zip ties).
Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to fix this massive PITA that Ford doesn't install as standard.
Next on the list is the dual battery system

Just a tip for those buying these kits. Look for one that has easy up and down. Mine is easy down only and my partner curses when she has to lift the tailgate to close it.

Just installed the kit from the shop here using the discount.
So far so good, everything working well and fairly easy to install following the supplied instructions.
I have a non central locking canopy so going to see if I can piggy back off it to add some more actuators to make that lock as well.

I diy'd my own mechanism for my 2015 Wildtrak because it didn't have a keyhole. I've never seen any kit for sale for models without the keyhole at the back. I also hooked it up to the central locking so I get the tailgate locked with the doors...
all stock but ready to rock...

As I mention elsewhere, I had to remove the one I installed to fit the Huracan storage unit so if you know anyone that would like the solonoid - let me know. I no longer have the fitting and wiring instructions though.
