Abstract
A tailgate that is intended to be mounted onto motor vehicle body such as to be pivotable between an open position and a closed position, and is intended to be connected to the body by means that generate an axial thrust for assisting in the opening of the tailgate. The tailgate includes an abutment, referred to as an anti-deformation abutment, for engaging, when the tailgate is in the closed position, with a complementary bearing of the body such that the complementary bearing exerts a reactive force against the anti-deformation abutment, having a direction parallel to a direction of thrust of the assistance means, or angled at most 45° relative to the thrust direction, and having at least one component in the direction opposite the direction of thrust of the assistance means.
