The GS8S is the five-seat, shorter-body version of the GS8. Its rear door looks similar but sits lower and carries less mass, so it takes different actuator ratings and a different bracket angle. This kit is built for the GS8S specifically.

Fitting a GS8 kit to a GS8S leaves the door riding high at the end of travel. Confirm the model badge and the hinge casting before ordering; if unsure, send a photo and we will confirm the reference.
