Rav4 New Model Rear Door Open Wide

[paulmcmorran]

I have the solution for the poor opening angle restriction of the rear doors on the post 2000 model ravs.

You cannot purchase this part from UK main dealers .This is a genuine Toyota part that can be retrofitted to allow the rear door to open to its full 90 degrees.

No longer does the door fall shut when parked on a slope and larger items can be easily loaded in the rear.

I have the parts in stock at £75 including postage.

It takes approx 15 minutes to fit for even the most modest of home mechanics.

Available also on eBay.

Got mine from sparkydog by return of post.

Most difficult and time consuming part of fitting is removal of trim. Once trim removed fitting of new part only takes 5 mins.

Door now opens to two positions, the first is same as original, second fully open. :)

The topic refers to the tailgate - which on the Rav4s in question, were side-hinged. Eg:

The current Rav4's tailgate is different, being top hinged -
