Frequently Asked Questions
The BHF780040 stay is a mechanical support that controls the movement of the lower tailgate section on the right-hand side. It interfaces with the tailgate hinge and lower latch mounting points and transmits load during operation, so a bent or damaged stay can misalign the door and place extra stress on hinges, latches and seals. Replace if the stay is worn, bent or damaged, and ensure correct right-hand orientation when fitting.
