Car tailgate

The tailgate is interchangeable for all the cars in question. The door is hung on the rear roof beam on two hinges 3 (pic. 142). Gaskets 2 and 4 are installed under the hinge links. In the open position, the door is held by two gas-filled stops 6. The stops are hinged to the body and the door. A piston is inserted into the upper tubular body of the stop, the rod of which exits the body through the seal. A special lubricating liquid and gas are placed between the piston and the bottom of the housing. Since the gas is under pressure, disassembly of the stop is not allowed.



If it is necessary to adjust the position of the door in the opening of the body, loosen the nuts securing the fixed hinges and, due to the enlarged holes in the body, adjust the gaps between the door and the body.

Tailgate lock (pic. 143) fastened on the inner panel of the door, the latch 3 of the lock - to the upper cross member 2 of the rear of the body. To prevent vibration of the tailgate, the lock has a special spike (in fig. 143 not shown), which, when the door is closed, enters the conical socket of the upper part of the latch.




Enlarged holes in the latch for the screws of its fastening to the rear cross member allow you to adjust the position of the latch. Before adjustment, it is recommended to outline the contours of the latch on the body cross member. If the lock is difficult to lock, loosen the screws securing the latch and move it to the desired position. Then tighten the screws.
