Premium Tailgate Trunk Lock Striker Catch Plate for VW Tiguan Skoda Yeti | OEM Direct Fit 5ND827517
Fix That Annoying Trunk Rattle and Secure Your Cargo Instantly!
Is your tailgate failing to latch properly, bouncing back when you try to close it, or rattling loudly over every bump? Does your dashboard constantly show a "Trunk Open" warning, risking a dead battery? The most common cause is a worn-out or misaligned tailgate lock striker plate.
Over years of slamming, the factory striker plate wears down, preventing the trunk latch from gripping securely. Our Premium Tailgate Lock Striker is engineered to exact original equipment (OEM) specifications, restoring your vehicle’s security and giving you that satisfying, solid "thud" when closing your trunk.

💡 Mechanic’s Pro Tip:
Installation takes less than 10 minutes! Before fully tightening the two mounting bolts, gently close the tailgate to let the striker self-align with the latch, then open it and torque the bolts down tight.
(Note: If your striker is new but the trunk still won't latch, your internal Tailgate Latch Actuator may also need replacement).
