Wanted Tailgate For 1997 Rav4

[Downton]

Hi all,two weeks ago the better half became the proud owner of a 1997 3door Rav4! To cut a long story short its purple ,she loved it ,it had issues so we negotiated a lower price and she drove home in her new ride..All the issues have now been taken care of ie new exhaust,cambelt kit,discs&pads,service 4new tyres and a good clean! It was during this time I noticed the lack of rear washer jet..on closer inspection the rear door has sustained damaged ,been repaired without putting the washer jet back (no hole for it!) ..So if anyone has a tailgate to fit this model we would be interested in buying it.Was going to fit a washer jet but also a small crack has appeared in the filler and I think the weight of the spare wheel is causing the door to flex around the repaired area so would feel better with another tailgate on..Many thanks for any help in obtaining one ,we are in the staffordshire area but dont mind travelling to collect or arranging a courier if its a little too far to collect....

best to try some breakers - google or look at some of the ads on various forums for Jap car breakers. I've used parts gateway to some success.
