All you need to do is replace the tailgate lifting struts. Over time the seals inside these struts wear out and the pistons lifting power is reduced - hence, the tailgate door slowly drops and before you know it you lift your head and 'bang' it's got you again.

Fitting instructions

The tailgate struts are held in place by a clip at each end. 

Open the tailgate to reveal the struts you are replacing.

Using a flat bladed screwdriver, gently prise the retaining clip up and slide it towards the end of the strut.

It is not essential to remove the retaining clips altogether but you may find it easier if you do. (As shown in the picture below)

Repeat this process for the retaining clip on the other end of the strut.

After you have removed the retaining clips from each end of the strut simply pull the strut away from the tailgate.

Note. The tailgate is very heavy;’ please take great care when removing the strut so not to injure yourself.  

Once removed release the clips supplied with the new strut, position the new strut onto the tailgate.

There are small grooves at each end of the struts; these are to slide the retaining clips down into position.

Now you have to slide the retaining clip back into position, the strut is now locked into place.
