JWP1205 - Top Mount Rear Tailgate Door Gas Strut Stay Kit for Land Rover Defender 1983-2016

Top Mount Gas Strut Conversion Kit for All Defender Models (1983-2016)

Enhance the functionality of your Defender's rear door with our easy-to-install Top Mount Gas Strut Conversion Kit. Designed to fit all Defender models from 1983 to 2016, this kit attaches seamlessly to your vehicle without the need for new holes or modifications.

Effortless Installation:

• The kit connects directly to the existing door hinge bolts and internal grab handle fixings, ensuring a clean and straightforward setup.
• No additional drilling is required as it utilizes existing fixing points, making the installation process simple and preserving the integrity of your vehicle.

Design and Functionality:

• Opt for our top mount kit to keep the lower areas of your vehicle free from clutter, providing a sleeker look compared to our bottom mount options (also available under part numbers JWP1203 & JWP1204).
• This setup includes one bracket that attaches to the existing top hinge bolts and another that mounts using the existing internal grab handle holes.
• The gas strut mechanism ensures the rear door remains securely open, even when supporting a spare wheel, and facilitates smoother, controlled opening and closing of the door.

Compatibility:

• For Defenders without headlining (typically hardtop vans), the kit can still be installed by drilling holes into the internal roof gutter and securing with self-tapping screws, mimicking the original Land Rover method used for attaching internal grab handles.

Superior Quality:

• Manufactured in England, our brackets are crafted from heavy-duty steel, shot blasted and powder coated for maximum durability and corrosion resistance.
