KIA Telluride Gate Spoof

The KIA Telluride Gate Spoof is a practical, 3D-printable accessory designed for 2020-2024 KIA Telluride owners who need to transport oversized cargo that extends beyond the rear bed. This device allows the liftgate to remain open and stable during transport, disables the vehicle's liftgate alarm, and enables driving with the gate ajar for low-speed travel.

Key Features:

1. Walls Set to 4 Loops for Durability: Designed with walls set to 4 loops, ensuring strength and versatility in securing the liftgate during use.
2. Alarm Bypass: Disables the vehicle's alert system for an open liftgate, allowing uninterrupted driving when carrying oversized items.
3. Driving Functionality with Gate Open: Ensures the vehicle can operate normally while the liftgate is ajar.
4. Robust Design: Optimized for 3D printing in durable materials like PLA+ or PETG for reliability under various conditions.
5. Simple Operation: To use, simply press the loop portion into the locking mechanism on the tailgate, just as the bed-mounted latch would function.
6. Precision Fit: Do not resize this model, as it is specifically sized for the existing KIA Telluride locking mechanism. Resizing could result in improper fit or function.
