Getting the rear hatch working properly again on your Holden FB, EK, EJ or EH Panel Van makes all the difference when it comes to usability and security. The Tailgate Plunger Rod Kit is a reproduction upper tailgate plunger rod setup designed to restore smooth and reliable operation of the upper rear hatch release mechanism. 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 upper hatch cleanly and evenly. 

  • Complete Upper 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 panel van back to life or fixing a stubborn upper hatch, the Tailgate Plunger Rod Kit delivers the correct components for reliable and factory-style tailgate operation.
