Description
Product Overview
This Rear Tailgate Glass Lock is an essential electrical component designed specifically for Citroën C5 I and II Estate (Combi) vehicles. It secures the rear window glass of the tailgate, preventing unwanted opening and ensuring safety and protection of your vehicle’s cargo area. This reliable locking mechanism is particularly valued by professional mechanics as well as DIY car owners who prioritize original or OEM spec parts for their vehicle repairs and replacements.
Function and Common Issues
The lock functions by electrically securing the rear tailgate glass, allowing it to open or close only when properly activated by the vehicle’s locking system. Over time, these locks may wear due to repeated use, exposure to moisture, or mechanical damage, causing difficulties with opening or closing the rear glass. Replacing a worn or faulty lock restores smooth operation and secures your vehicle properly. Regular checks during tailgate maintenance can help identify early signs of failure.
Installation Notes
Replacing the Rear Tailgate Glass Lock involves removing the interior trim of the tailgate to access the electrical connector and the mounting screws. Ensure the vehicle battery is disconnected before starting the replacement to avoid electrical hazards. After installation, verify the lock’s operation by testing the locking and unlocking function through the central locking system or the remote control. Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with vehicle electrical components.
