Review on Tailgate Latch Actuator Replacement for 2009-2012 Ford 🔧 Escape, 2008-2011 Mazda Tribute, 2009-2011 Mercury Mariner - OE# 9L8Z-7843150-B by Marcus Amillion

This part made me nervous about the $25 but compared to the OEM I removed I didn't notice a difference. I like to time my build or simple install and the hardest part was opening the door which took just over 2 minutes and with a drill and a Tourqe bit (t27) it took less than 5 minutes. A total of 6 minutes 47 seconds from start to finish, including the time it takes you to start recording and hit the Done button. It's easy and saves about $250 with the professional installation and auto part of the zone. If this is for your model and year, go for it.
