Willys Fitment Guarantee

Covered when this part is listed for your exact vehicle in the Fitment tab, or we’ve confirmed it from your rego or VIN. If it doesn’t fit, we pay the return freight both ways and refund or exchange it. No restocking fee. How it works

Your exact vehicle must be listed in the Fitment tab or confirmed by rego/VIN. Tell us within 30 days, with the part unused. Special-order, freight-quoted and tune/software items are excluded. Change of mind is different: 30 days, a 15% restocking fee, and you pay the return postage.

A dash means the listing does not narrow it down that far (for example no build dates are listed). Check with us if your vehicle was built near a model change.

Fitment listings are a guide. Not sure? Send us your rego or VIN and our team will check the part for your vehicle, before or after you order.
