Gerard from France

Hello,

I'm new to this forum, so I'll introduce myself:

As my profile indicates, my name is Gérard and I live in France, near Paris and more precisely 5kms from Disneyland Paris.

I bought a 1987 Jeep Wagoneer XJ in January 2020.

My "Waggy" was in Maryland until 2015, in Pennsylvania until August 2018, in the Netherlands until January 2020, and therefore in France now.

It is a: Wagoneer Base L 6, 4WD Command-Track; color: Champagne metallic / Briarwood metallic; trim: Tan.

It displays 104.675mi, and is completely original (the K7- AMC radio is still there .....).

I just added vintage CIBIE fog lights and a luggage cover.

It is precisely this luggage cover that causes me a problem: the hook on the tailgate on the left side is missing.

Its shape is specific (see attached photo), and I cannot find one in France, nor on the net (but I do not know the exact reference of this part).

OMIX-ADA, which manufactured the luggage cover, could not give me the reference of this hook.

Someone from this forum, would he know the reference of this hook, which will allow me to do a more precise research on the internet.

Or do any of you have this hook in stock, and sell it to me?

My preference would be beige, but any color could do ......

Thank you in advance for your help.

part number 5500 7320

simply called "bracket"

You may have to contact salvage/junk yards to find one.

Possible a machine shop could make one

hope this helps

I drive an 89 XJ. I know of a junk yard that has an 89 Wagoneer that I have pulled parts from. It's a junk yard that nobody goes to much and the wagoneer is hard to get to. It's back in the hills. Next time I go I will check to see if that bracket is there. If it is I will get it for you.

Thank youvery much BriceB, for the photo of the spare parts manual.
In France, I only found the manual made by Renault when it imported the Cherokees to France, and there is only the "bracket" reference of models after mine ...
Could you tell me on which spare parts manual you took this photo, and is it possible to find it for sale?

In French car scrapyards, there are very few Cherokees, and even fewer Wagoneers.....

Of course, it must be possible to have this part remade, but it will be necessary to have a plan ou a photo with all the dimensions.

It's a wonderful, and unexpected proposition that you make to me Chick-N-Picker.
It would be great if the bracket was still on this Wagoneer.
Thank you again for this suggestion.
