Review on πŸ”’ Dorman 77101 Black Tailgate Lock for Chevrolet, GMC, and Oldsmobile Models - Enhanced SEO by Drexel Wortham

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Out of service after a few months of light use

As mentioned in other reviews it will fail after a while. The metal cap that holds the drum springs is not properly fastened, when the cap eventually comes off it blocks the drum. One day after opening the glass sunroof, you realize that the handle won't rotate far enough to open the back door due to a stuck toggle switch. This will be the last time he tries to work. If you decide to try your luck with this lock due to limited capacity, do not open the tailgate trim so you can open the tailgate or replace the lock if it fails.

Pros
  • Handy thing
Cons
  • Weight
