Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC3871 upper tailgate repair kit?
The RTC3871 is the bare aluminium upper tailgate frame for the split rear tailgate, supplied without glass. The rear screen, lock, striker and hinges are transferred from your original. It replaces a corroded or accident-damaged upper tailgate on the Range Rover Classic, and the aluminium frame resists the corrosion that affects the steel original.
What do I need to transfer from my old tailgate?
You'll need to transfer the glass, lock, striker, hinges and trim from your original tailgate, since the RTC3871 is supplied as the bare frame with no glass. Budget for a new rear screen seal if you reuse the glass. The aluminium frame fits the Range Rover Classic split upper tailgate.
What does non-NAS specification mean for this tailgate?
Non-NAS means this upper tailgate is built to rest-of-world specification, not North American Specification (NAS). It suits Range Rover Classic vehicles outside the NAS market. Check that your original tailgate's fittings and wiper provision match before ordering, as NAS cars can differ.
How does the aluminium tailgate compare to the steel original?
The aluminium upper tailgate resists the corrosion that commonly affects the steel-framed original on the Range Rover Classic. It's a like-for-like repair frame, also listed under cross-reference BR 2183. Fit it when the original upper tailgate is rusted through or damaged beyond economical repair.
