TeamGreen Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 Hi everyone, the tailgate on my 98 Sharan is currently being eaten alive from the inside by a very aggressive rust worm and I was wondering if the tailgate from a 2001 model would fit or did VW Ford make too many changes on the facelift for it to work?

Mirez Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 Hi everyone, the tailgate on my 98 Sharan is currently being eaten alive from the inside by a very aggressive rust worm and I was wondering if the tailgate from a 2001 model would fit or did VW Ford make too many changes on the facelift for it to work? Wont fit, most notebly because of the rear lights being curved on the older model and strait on the newer one so the metal work is different on the tailgate. The bottom is also more curved on the older design so the new one would hit the bumper. The bumper could probably be swapped across at the same time to fix that but the metal work around the lights would require some alteration. Quote
TeamGreen Posted October 23, 2009 Author Report Posted October 23, 2009 Thanks Mirez, will keep looking for a Mk1 tailgate then. Quote
