Frequently asked questions

What does the tailgate cable stud do?
The tailgate cable stud is the body-side anchor point for the rear tailgate check cable on the Land Rover Defender. It receives the end of the cable that limits how far the tailgate drops and supports it level when open.
How many tailgate cable studs do I need?
You'll typically need one tailgate cable stud per cable anchor on the Defender tailgate. Many tailgates use a check cable on each side, so check how many your vehicle has before ordering and replace any that are worn or pulled out.
Which Defenders does this stud fit?
This tailgate cable stud fits the Land Rover Defender from 1987 to 2016, including the High Capacity and lower tailgate from VIN 7A000001. It's the original body-side cable anchor, so it suits both the earlier and later Defender tailgate setups.
