Maybe someone knows, or can oblige with a tape measure, would be appreciated. 1/ top to bottom of rear door jam, and 2/ bottom rear door jam to ground.  My RAV4.1 (3 door) measures an impressive 105cm and 53cm. Might be closer to 104cm, because the top jam is a few inches forward of the bottom jam, so measured at a small angle. |

These make very good vans, especially the 5 door. Mines a 3 door but would say the back door is same same size for 3 or 5 door. What do you want to carry in it ? as remembered the back door doesn’t fully open. They use to make a different door check strap to overcome that ....not sure if it’s still available. |

No not done it..the Blue Rav4 I had last, I was donated a 4.3 strap of a Fellow member, who had fitted a full opening strap 👍🏻👍🏻 |

I was intrigued to know why you asked the question?
Also regarding other peoples posts, I didn't realise that you could get a longer strap, the current one is a pain in the backside, I guess that the reason is so the spare wheel doesent extend past the side of the car if you open it fully on a busy road. anyone any ideas on where to get a longer one from?
Not that would be a problem for me as I have a righthand drive in France. Ah that is a thought if my theory is correct maybe the strap on a LHD model is longer as it wouldn't be opening into the traffic.

You'd probably want to look for a better price than this: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-GENUINE-TOYOTA-RAV-4-2000-2005-TAILGATE-CHECK-STRAP-CONVERSION-KIT-/114202881784 |

I think the shorter strap was to allow the offside rear lights to be visible with the door open. Although looking at the photo above I am wondering if that is true! |

Yep, That's right, Dave, although In think that the perspective of the photo above doesn't show it. I've fitted the longer strap to ours along with a few strips of reflective red tape down the door edge to keep it visible to approaching traffic at night. You could wire in a flexible red LED strip to the tail lights instead. |
