Fitment & Compatibility

Function & Common Failure Modes
The striker is the fixed counterpart to the latch mechanism on the rear lid. Typical failure or issues include:
- Wear or deformation from repeated use, causing poor engagement.
- Corrosion or pitting in humid or salty environments, leading to noisy or unreliable locking.
- Impact damage from closing heavy loads or rear collisions, which can misalign the striker.
Replacement & Installation Notes
Replacement is straightforward for a trained technician: remove any interior trim panels as required to access the striker, unbolt the old striker, fit the new unit, and check alignment with the latch. After fitting, cycle the rear lid several times to verify correct engagement and smooth operation. If available, follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque settings and alignment procedures. Inspect the mating latch surface and lubricate pivot points with an appropriate product if needed.
