WHICH ALUMINIUM UPPER TAILGATE FOR CLASSIC RR

Hi

I have a 1988 Classic RR and need to replace the upper tailgate. I have looked at several online including Famous Fours with and without Pilkington glass (which is OEM) and BRITPARTS but have no idea which is the best.

I would appreciate any advice and recommendations.

Thanks

Fitted the Famous Four frame to the existing glass on my 1986 some years ago. Works fine.
Be careful cutting the old frame to remove the glass - I used a hacksaw to minimise risk.
To close ally frames press on the bottom corners - they can bow slightly in the middle if you use the handle.

Best practice, even for the original steel versions.

Thanks for the information and advice on closing. I could do with a new glass as well so will opt for the Famous Four one with the Pilkington glass (apparently it is thicker that the other glass which is produced in China).

Generally you get what you pay for.
