Great product, just needs some tweaking on the design.

I have a 2001 Dodge Dakota Sport 4x4 and needed to secure the tailgate. After receiving the wrong Pop & Lock model twice, I decided to try again (direct from seller). I received the required part and installed it. It went in easily and simply and I used the security bolt as directed. Then I tried to open the tailgate, nothing. The handle only moved on the left side, not the right side. I tried to untorque the security screw (which was very difficult) and the tailgate opened. Not wanting to getโ€ฆ

Spring. Sorta in Exterior Accessories

This was bought for my dad for his new pickup truck and to be honest while it's safe it took more than the assembly and a trip to the hardware store, so like actual we had to punch through the door body and use our own fasteners. And it's not what is shown. Rather, we thought it was a replacement for the handle release mechanism - take out the old one, put in the new one. But think of it more like a tiny doorknob version of a tiny, permanent "club" gizmo that would sit on your steering wheel to

Pros
  • Hands Free
Cons
  • Very Expensive

Works as expected - External accessories

The hardest part of the installation was removing the trunk lid screws. I had to go to the store and buy a torx to fit my ratchet. On other trucks you take the back of the tailgate off, you unclip the rods from their brackets on the old tailgate and reattach them to the latch. Dakota's rear tailgate does not detach. You simply loosen two of the three screws and remove the third. From the front, the lock is inserted between the old handle and the back of the tailgate. On the back of theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Newer model could have been chosen

Spring. Accessory Sorta on Truck Bed & Tailgate

I bought this for my dad for his new pickup and to be honest it gives him confidence to go to the hardware store as we did we actually had to punch through the door casing and use our own fasteners. And it's not what is shown. old, insert new. But think of it more like a tiny version of the doorknob of that tiny, permanent "club" attachment you would attach to your steering wheel to deter theft. And that after the installation. Not that another similar block would be any easier to modify, butโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Trial for one year
Cons
  • Available in white only

NOT that easy for tailgate locks

The instructions for this lock and lock (P&L) provides a very easy 10 minute install. Not for me. I own a 2004 Dodge Dakota and have encountered problems. . Loosening the rear screws wasn't enough to get it out of the grip. I had to take the cover off. After a few tries I found that a very thin spatula inserted into the bottom of the pad would loosen the bottom ridges and a gentle tug on the corner would remove them. After many tries, I either have too many fingers or not enough, I finallyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
