Lock Purpose and Function

The presented lock is dedicated for installation in the rear, right, upper part of the tailgate, responsible for stable tailgate locking and maintaining it in the correct position while driving. The component works with the other tailgate mounting points, which translates to even force distribution and reduced play in the rear body section.

Thanks to its factory origin, the lock maintains the correct geometry, which facilitates adjustment after installation and allows for maintaining the seal of the rear body, important for protecting the trunk interior from moisture and dirt, among other things.

Construction and Fit for Volkswagen Caddy

As an original Volkswagen part, the lock has been specifically designed for the Caddy's rear door construction, taking into account the tailgate's shape, cable routing, and mounting points. This means:

• factory mounting hole spacing,
• compatibility with standard guides and cables,
• proper cooperation with the internal and external opening mechanism.

Such a fit limits the need for modifications, shortens installation time, and reduces the risk of tailgate closing problems after replacing the part.

Benefits of Using an Original Lock

Using an original rear tailgate lock in the Volkswagen Caddy allows for restoring the correct operation of the opening and closing mechanism without compromising on fit. Key benefits include:

• secure tailgate locking – reducing accidental opening while driving,
• stable guidance of the rear door at the upper right mounting point,
• maintaining the factory body line and gaps between elements,
• easier adjustment after installation due to compliance with the original construction.

This solution is particularly recommended for collision repairs, replacement of worn locking mechanisms, or restoring full functionality of the rear body section in intensively used vehicles.

Part Condition and Service Application

The offered lock is from the used parts group, making it an attractive cost alternative while maintaining original construction and fit. It is suitable for both routine repairs and comprehensive restoration of the rear body section, when replacement of several tailgate locking points is necessary.
