Tailgate Gas Strut (Right) for BYD Seagull, OE 13451103-00

This one needs a quote rather than a straight online order. Before you ask for the price shown on this page, check your tailgate to confirm this is the right side and rear position, and look at how the strut fixes at each end. That is what the quote is built around, so having it clear saves a second message back and forth. Once it is confirmed, the quote route on this page will take you through to the price.

This is the right hand strut for the rear tailgate. Once a strut is off the car it is easy to lose track of which side it came from, so keep the old part in front of you and check its position before you order, rather than going from memory. A right hand strut will not fit on the left hand mounting points, so getting the side wrong means the new strut will not go on at all. If you are not certain, compare this new one against the old part directly, not against a description.

Original/Genuine and Aftermarket are both offered for this strut against OE number 13451103-00, and the way to judge between them is to look at the photographs on this page rather than the tier name alone. Compare the two listings image for image before you decide, since a written description will not show you everything a picture will. Check the strut currently on your tailgate against what you see, and pick whichever photograph matches it most closely. If you are still unsure once you have looked, choose the listing photographed closest to your original part.

If the number stamped on your old strut does not match OE number 13451103-00, do not assume straight away that this is the wrong part. This strut is also listed under the reference EQEA-6309112, so check that code too before ruling it out. Compare both references against what is stamped or printed on your old part, since the same component is sometimes issued under more than one code. Only order once one of these two numbers lines up, rather than going by side or position alone, since a mismatched number is the clearest sign you have the wrong strut.

Metal is what this strut is made from. Parts like this can look very similar to each other even when they are not the same fitment, so weight and appearance are not a reliable way to check you have the right one. Before you fit it, read the number stamped on the strut you are removing and check it against OE number 13451103-00 for this listing. That comparison tells you more than judging the part by material or size.

No painting is needed. It is supplied in black, which is how it is listed here, and the strut body sits under the tailgate trim rather than on show against the paintwork. Before ordering, check the model and the model year shown on the vehicle registration document, since gas struts are matched closely to a specific tailgate design and getting the year wrong is the easiest way to end up with a strut that does not suit the car.
