Description
Product Overview
This electric rear hatch glass lock is designed specifically for Citroën C5 I and II Estate (Combi) models, identified by product code 661527. It secures the rear window of the tailgate, ensuring a tight and reliable closure to prevent water ingress and unauthorized access. This component is essential for maintaining the integrity and security of the rear hatch, especially after prolonged use or damage to the previous locking mechanism.
Function and Application
The rear hatch glass lock serves to lock the rear window separately from the main tailgate locking system. It is commonly used in estate variants where the rear window can be opened independently. Over time, exposure to weather, mechanical strain, or wear can lead to failure of the locking mechanism, resulting in a loose or non-secure rear window. Replacing the lock restores functionality and security, providing peace of mind and preventing potential water damage inside the vehicle.
Replacement and Maintenance
Replacing this electric lock involves removing the interior trim of the tailgate, disconnecting the wiring harness, and unscrewing the locking mechanism. Installation requires careful alignment to ensure smooth operation. This part is a common replacement for Citroën C5 I and II Estate owners, including both professional mechanics and vehicle enthusiasts performing DIY repairs. Regular inspection during service intervals can help identify early signs of lock failure.
