Lower Tailgate Cable Disconnected

Hi all,

The lower part of the support cable on the driver side has come unattached from the lower part of the boot, not the car end.

It seems like the nut inside the lower tailgate has disappeared as there is now a hole only, but no thread to reattach it to.

Any idea what parts I need and do I have to take much apart?

Many thanks,

Tim

Pretty sure it's a captive nut...

What is left on the strap..? Pete

The strap has the bolt that should screw in the lower tailgate but there is nothing to screw into, just a hole.

As I said, pretty sure it's a captive bolt which must have come off....

Maybe undo the other side and see... Pete

Yes I realised it was a captive nut but if it's sheered off it may require sorting at the garage rather than my just buying a replacement part, thought someone might know for sure that's all.

I would post a picture but there really isn't much to see, just a hole!

I'll ring LR parts tomorrow and see if they've got a diagram and can tell me.

Thanks.

It`s called nut-set works like a pop-rivet.

Had the same problem when I replaced my tailgate straps - the nut came off on one side. If you remove the plastic trim along the top of the tailgate (the screws are fairly obvious) then you can get behind the carpet, find the nut rattling round inside the tailgate somewhere, then hold the nut in place while you screw the strap back in.
