Hi Everyone,
Just joined, picked up a '19 A7 Prestige to replace my '12 A6 Prestige.

Car has this issue with the lift gate stuttering, it's unfortunately out of warranty now and needs new struts/motors.

I was able to get the power struts and was hoping to replace myself, however the connector is buried (pictured on the replacement) and I couldn't tell what to remove to get to it. Has anyone done this themselves and/or know what trim piece(s) to pull from the interior to access the connector?

Appreciate any help anyone might be able to give me on this!

the cause is drive units need to be replaced. Attached recording if anyone curious.
I'm having a similar issue. Does Drive Units = Tailgate Lift Motor / entire strut? Any part numbers would be helpful.
