I bought this to fix my power tailgate which is not working. I did some research and wanted to replace the tailgate motor for 5x the price. Other hardware stores replaced the motor only to find that the door latch was the problem. I decided to start with a cheaper component and I'm glad I did. If your power tailgate isn't working, start with this latch. The product itself installed in about 20-30 minutes and only required a couple of Torx screwdrivers. To replace it you must open the rear window and the tailgate at the same time. Remove the top plastic trim around the inner window. It just pops out with a little hand force. Next, unscrew the 2 torx screws. One from the belt and the other from the handle opposite the belt. You remove the inner panel in the same manner as the first panel, but this requires a bit of finesse. First loosen the clips on the left and right side. Go around the stone and approach the base next to the latch. There are two clips on the sides of the latch that are perpendicular to this surface. Be careful of the tailgate lock button and cables when loosening. They will then contact you and disable this button. To remove this panel, the jar must be open. Slide the panel up and out of the glass latch mechanism. From here you have easy access to the 2 torx screws that hold the latch in place. Replace the latch and test the door opening and closing before reassembling. To reassemble, reverse the steps.
