When the tailgate on your Holden FJ Series (Upper Or Lower Tailgate), FE & FC Series (Lower Tailgate – Ute Models) Or FB & EK Series (Lower Tailgate – Ute And Panel Van Models) starts playing up, worn linkage rods are often the culprit. The Tailgate Plunger Rod Kit is designed to replace the original internal rod system, restoring smooth and reliable tailgate release operation. Engineered to connect directly into the internal tailgate assembly, this kit allows the exterior handle to pull the side latch plungers inward as intended, unlocking the hatch cleanly and evenly. 

  • Complete Tailgate Plunger Rod Kit: Includes 2 x Plunger Rods, 2 x Tension Springs, and 2 x Retaining Pin Clips.

  • Restores Proper Hatch Operation: Enables the handle to retract the side latch plungers for smooth unlocking.

  • Direct Internal Mechanism Connection: Integrates with the factory-style tailgate linkage system.

  • Corrosion-Resistant Plated Steel Rods: Durable linkage rods designed for long-term reliability.

  • Heavy-Gauge Steel Tension Springs: Provides consistent return pressure for dependable latch engagement.

  • Factory-Style Installation Method: Springs slide over each plunger rod, retaining clips fit over the end of the tailgate handle lock plate, the plunger rod locates into the hole in the clip/lock plate and pushes securely over the rod for proper engagement.

Whether you’re bringing a classic ute or panel van back to life or fixing a stubborn hatch, the Tailgate Plunger Rod Kit delivers the correct components for reliable and factory-style tailgate operation.
