How to remove the Tailgate Handle and Tailgate Latch on Honda Passport?

When working on Rodeo and Passport models, remove the tailgate panel screws and straps, lift off the tailgate access panel by removing its screws, and pull back the tailgate plastic guard. First, pull off the tailgate latch by removing two screws at each end with an impact-driver (if needed), pulling out the latch-connected rods, and gently taking out the latch. To take out the window latch, first remove the bolts holding the latch in place, detach the actuating rods, and remove the latch. Unscrew the bolts that hold the handle on the outside, and then undo the cables that make it work from the back of the handle. To get the lock cylinder out, pull off the plastic clip linked to the rod that moves the lock, slide the clip that holds the lock, and then pull the cylinder straight out from the door. You can install everything like you removed it.

Honda Passport Tailgate Latch

The Honda Passport Tailgate Latch holds the rear panel in position to ensure that cargo is protected and the tailgate opens and closes easily. The mechanism involves a spring-loaded catch and release handle that allows drivers to flip the lever, pull down the panel, and click it closed with a firm seal. On early models of Passport, the Tailgate Latch fell back on a simple metal hook, which engaged a striker, but on later Passport models, a reinforced assembly was applied with corrosion-resistant alloys for longer life and tighter bite. Both types have the same aim of protecting tools, spare tires, and recreational gear from being stolen or lost during travel. If the Tailgate Latch wears out or breaks, owners may discover the panel either stuck or unable to lock, so replacement parts, which typically cost varies, bring the panel back to normal function without difficult installation. Because the Tailgate Latch is designed by Honda engineers as a modular unit, many units directly swap into place with basic hand tools and reuse the factory handle. By inspecting and replacing the Tailgate Latch promptly, Honda drivers are keeping every Passport from Honda ready for adventure.
