When I looked a while ago there are two fitted, pre 2007 and post 2007, and from what I found, both are interchangeable, the earlier pre Tata ones don't rust so much... |

I've just bought a 10MY upper tailgate for my 08MY, dimensionally the same, the only differences I can detect is the camera position on the spoiler and a different wiper motor - the metalwork is directly interchangeable so I can't see a different part number for a L322 not fitting...

That's a rare find, a 10MY with no rust, (maybe it was a replacement under the rust warranty) make sure you fill it up with some rust preventer, then do it again to make sure... |

It's already stripped and the (light) rust ground out, all the parts have a late '09 production date including the glass so it's probably the exception that breaks the rule! I've no history of the donor vehicle, so who knows? |

Did you have to change the wiper motor ? |

The camera is mounted on the spoiler, the 10MY camera is in a different position on the spoiler and have a slightly different field of view and focal point due to the repositioning. The spoiler positioning on the tailgate and alignment with the 'D' pillars is dimensionally the same. |

Yes, the wiper motors are different electrically - physically the same dimensions though. |

i must be lucky when i first bought my 2010 back in 2014 my first job was to spray inside the upper tailgate with cavity wax its still rust free |

And that would have cost JLR about 2 1/2pence to do when they made them...

It is indeed - well over in fact.

The earlyest tailgate from 02-06 is made from the best (BMW) steel... Ford ownership 06-09 saw them get thinner, lighter and rust more... 09-12 saw TATA take over and use wafer thin steel that rusts even quicker!
