Aftermarket Part
Aftermarket: Quality alternative. This is a quality alternative, designed to fit and function like the original part, often at a more competitive price.
Tailgate Gas Strut - Upper for the rear split tailgate, supporting the upper lift-up section of the door.

The gas-charged strut counterbalances the weight of the upper tailgate, holding it open and controlling the speed at which it raises and lowers. As the gas charge depletes with age the door will no longer stay up; struts are best renewed as a pair so both sides support the door evenly.

Frequently asked questions

What does the upper tailgate gas strut do?
The upper tailgate gas strut supports the lift-up upper section of the rear split tailgate on the Discovery 3 and Discovery 4. The gas charge counterbalances the door's weight, holding it open and controlling how fast it raises and lowers.
Should I replace both upper struts at once?
Best practice is to replace the upper tailgate struts as a pair, one each side, so both sides support the door evenly. Even if only one has failed, the second is usually close behind once the gas charge starts to deplete.
How do I know these struts need replacing?
When the upper tailgate no longer stays up or drops slowly, the gas struts have lost their charge. This typically develops gradually with age on the Discovery 3 and Discovery 4 rear door.
Is this the upper or lower tailgate strut?
This is the upper strut, for the top lift-up section of the split tailgate, not the strut for the lower drop-down section. Confirm you need the upper struts before ordering, as the two sections use different parts.
