Tailgate Gas Strut (Right) for BYD e2, OE 12581806-00

This part is classed as dangerous goods for transport, so it cannot be bought in the normal way on this page. That classification is about how the item may be carried and says nothing about the part, which is listed as new. The quote route on this page is how it is bought instead. Give us the car and the delivery address when you enquire, because what can be arranged depends heavily on where the strut is going and which method is open to it on the day.

The right side, named from the driver's seat facing forward, at the rear of the car. Standing behind the e2 with the boot open, that is the strut on your left, which is the point people get wrong most often. The left strut is a separate listing under its own OE number. Check the marking on the strut you are removing before you send an enquiry, and say clearly which side you need when you do, since each side is ordered on its own here.

We list this strut under OE number 12581806-00, and it is also known as EL-6309112. Either reference identifies the same item. Markings on a strut can be worn or unreadable after time on the car, so look at it in good light before you decide anything. If yours is illegible or reads differently, put what you can make out into the quote enquiry with the model of the car, and we will match it here instead of having you enquire against a reference that may not be yours.

This strut is made of metal, which is what the tube and the rod are made from. It is a slim item rather than a bulky one. It moves under a quote for transport reasons rather than the usual delivery route. Mention the delivery address when you enquire so the right option can be worked out. Check the OE number against the strut you are replacing before you send your enquiry, so the replacement matches what is fitted to your BYD e2.

No. The colour for this strut is black, and it sits on the exterior of the car where it can be seen once the tailgate is raised. It arrives in the finish named on this page, so there is nothing for you to paint or match at your end. If the finish does matter because the car has been altered from standard, raise that in the quote enquiry before anything is agreed, instead of assuming a different one can be supplied against this reference.

Only the Original/Genuine BYD part is available for this OE number. There is no Aftermarket line for it, so there is no second tier and no comparison to make on this page. Because the strut is bought through the quote route, the response you receive will set out what applies to this exact reference and nothing else. If you would consider an alternative, say so in the enquiry and give the number read off the car, and we will tell you whether anything else matches it.
