With your one piece tailgate wouldn't you be better off with gas struts mate ????

Didn’t think they’d be strong enough.
At least the mechanical struts will hold.

The wifes Lexus tailgate weighs a ton and it has gas struts on it ?

I put gas struts on the wagon tailgate... bit lighter than yours, but easy bolt-up. The gas strut mob asked me to weigh the tailgate, so I used a fishing scale. They then set the pressure on the struts to suit the weight. It was pretty close - the tailgate stays wherever I put it, but doesn't try to smack me in the mouth when I open it. Lot easier than doing the two arm shuffle to move the little clicky latches on the original struts.

Cheers,

I ordered some today.
I’ll see how they go.
Thanks.
