Tailgate Hatch Removal | Range Rover Classic - EP 24

Been going through some fairly wet weather recently and the cab is continually soaked after drives. The rear tailgate has been the main culprit and it was time I took care of the rusted bits. Enjoy!

Another good one. Love how you take these projects slowly, to ensure they're done right. For example, taking the time to use the rust converter on all the mechanical parts first. A lot of people might skip that, in favor of the quick gratification of putting the new assembly back on.

[@WorkingAxle]

I can't imagine anyone not doing a step like that! Though If I had more time I'd likely try and get thall the components dipped in galv and then powder coated!

Thank you very much sir for the help, I really appreciate it . I have ordered the rear tailgate frame.

[@WorkingAxle]

Sure thing! Hope the job goes smoothly.

You are an esthete! You have a nice apartment and a garage!

[@WorkingAxle]

Man such a great compliment. It's all in the camera angles honestly. You should see things when I'm not filming hah!

[@djb341]

You’ll need a good soldering iron for the heated window terminals

[@WorkingAxle]

Ahhh yeah! I've got one but still haven't gone back and welded it up!

[@arnojohanson3624]

If you use a angle grinder, cover the glass. If you do not, sparks will burn into the glass 😉

[@WorkingAxle]

Hahah! Yeah in hindsight that would of been a good idea! 😂

[@Okierover]

I"m jealous...your screws turn when you use a screwdriver! Spoke too soon! That's what mine did.

[@WorkingAxle]

Haha! Yep! I soaked em pretty good before hand, but all the ones on the bottom rail snapped right off 😂😂😂

[@nealcarpenter7364]

Where did you get the frame. Looks really good. I don't need to replace mine yet, but I'm sure it is coming.

[@WorkingAxle]

I got one from famous four! Pretty good quality! Happy with the overall finish! Would buy again! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@WorkingAxle]

Hey hey how about that intro?! 🎃

[@westy1]

How did you go re adhering the window heat tabs?nightmare job on mine,that conductive glue isn’t great,,had a minor stroke when you pulled them off,haha

[@WorkingAxle]

Hey hey! Still trying to figure out the best method to tackle that. The hatch is back on, but those need to be sorted. Was thinking of soldering, but no idea if that would even work! 😅

[@paulschauder3565]

What would you do if the hinge itself came disconnected from the vehicle? I just experienced that

[@WorkingAxle]

Oh! Hmmm not sure. 🤔 like the pin came out? Or you’re have trouble screwing it back on?

[@paulschauder3565]

@@WorkingAxle yes where the top left hinge connects to the roof, I opened the window and it fell out

[@WorkingAxle]

@@paulschauder3565hmmm. shoot me a photo or two over on Instagram.

[@Okierover]

Please! Tell us that is stainless steel hardware!

[@WorkingAxle]

Oh yes yes yes! all stainless steel hardware now! ;)
