Honda CR-V Tailgate Latch

Honda CR-V Tailgate Latch keeps the rear storage area shut and secure and allows you to get to it whenever you need it. By locking tight when the panel is closed, the Tailgate Latch prevents tools, gear, and spare tire from being easy targets for theft. So press down on the handle to release, then the Tailgate Latch reengages when you push the door shut for quick access and solid security. Across early models of the CR-V with manual hardware and later CR-V models that continue to retain the essentials, operation remains familiar and does not require complicated electronics. A catch and spring are in line with the striker, a design that Honda SUVs share, so swaps generally involve sliding out one compact assembly and bolting in another. Should the Tailgate Latch fail, owners may find it difficult to load up on gear or even open the trunk, which makes upkeep crucial for every Honda driver. Prices for a replacement Tailgate Latch vary widely, and having the correct part number for your CR-V ensures you can buy the correct part with typical Honda costs for small hardware.
