Full Version: Classic tailgate actuator spring problem

Hi all

Rather stupidly took off the tailgate central locking actuator without taking a picture of how the spring attached and now for the life of me can't figure out which way the spring is supposed to fit.

I was wondering whether anyone would be kind enough to post a picture of theirs in situ with the plastic cover removed so I can try and see how it attaches.

Many thanks

I'll do it later today for you.

That would be very kind of you.

I struggled for ages on Sunday but just couldn't figure out which way it was supposed to fit and didn't want to beak the thing.

Cheers

Sorry - i completely forgot until surfing just now. The photos aren't great, being taken in the dark (and cold!) - let me know if you need more taken in daylight. rolleyes.gif

Dr W
Thank you so much for doing that.

I'm going to try and have a go tonight if I manage to leave work on time so will let you know. It was mainly which way the hook fastened as I think i was trying to fasten it too far along the metal rod.

Cheers
