About this adaptation

The Jeff Gosling Boot Strap offers a brilliantly simple yet highly effective solution for anyone who struggles to close their car's tailgate. This clever adaptation is designed to make accessing your boot effortless, ensuring you can manage your shopping, luggage, or mobility aids without any unnecessary strain or discomfort.

Expertly designed, the strap securely fixes to the inside of your vehicle's tailgate. To close the boot, simply use the strap to gently pull the door down to a comfortable, reachable height. As the tailgate continues to close, the strap neatly and discreetly stows away, held firmly in place by a built-in magnet. When you next open the boot, the natural force of the door's action releases the strap, making it instantly ready for subsequent use.

This durable and reliable boot strap provides the extra reach and leverage needed for heavier or higher tailgates, enhancing your independence and making everyday tasks significantly easier. It's an unobtrusive addition that integrates seamlessly into your vehicle, offering peace of mind and convenience with every use.

Who is it suitable for?

**Limited Mobility**: Individuals who experience difficulty or discomfort when reaching to close their car's tailgate, particularly if they have a reduced range of motion in their arms or shoulders.

**Reduced Strength**: People with decreased upper body strength, making it challenging to pull down and secure a heavy car boot without strain or assistance.

**Independent Drivers**: Car users who wish to maintain their independence and operate their vehicle's tailgate without relying on others for assistance, ensuring a smoother and more private experience.

**Pain or Discomfort**: Those who experience pain or discomfort when stretching or exerting themselves to close the boot, such as individuals with arthritis or chronic back conditions.

Why prices are quoted for your vehicle

Modern cars differ a lot — steering systems, electronics, airbags, dashboards and mounting points. What fits one model may need different parts, programming or labour on another. The figures on this page are a starting point for supplied & fitted work; we confirm a firm price once we know your make, model and year, and have checked compatibility.

Workshop fitting vs mobile

Most adaptations are fitted at our Heathrow or Ferndown workshops, where we have the tools, lifts and diagnostic equipment to do the job properly. Some simpler fittings can still be done at your home or a dealership when the product and vehicle allow — we'll say so when we quote. We never force a mobile fit where workshop conditions are safer or required by the manufacturer.

Area we cover

We focus on local service from our two workshops — roughly within about 30 miles of Heathrow (West Drayton) and about 60 miles of Ferndown (Wimborne). Collection and return of your vehicle, home visits and mobile work (where suitable) sit inside those bands. Outside the area you can usually still bring the vehicle to us, or ask about options when you request a quote.

  • Very handy little addition. Saves me reaching up awkwardly to close the boot. Well made and looks tidy when fitted.

  • Simple but effective. Makes pulling the boot lid down from my wheelchair so much easier. Don't know how I managed without it before!

    Pauline A.

  • Cheap as chips and does the job perfectly. Daft little thing but I use it every day. Makes pulling the boot down so much easier when I'm in my chair.
