Dovetail for the rear door, part of the rear door latch and alignment assembly.

Frequently asked questions

What is the ALR5691 dovetail and what does it do?
The ALR5691 dovetail is part of the rear door latch and alignment assembly. It registers the door against the body as it closes, centring and locating it so the striker and latch engage cleanly. It also carries shear load across the door aperture, holding the closed door firmly and cutting movement and rattle.
Where does the dovetail sit on the door?
The dovetail sits at the rear door aperture, where the door meets the body. It works with the matching striker and latch in the door alignment assembly, guiding the door into position on closing. Its job is locating and load-bearing, not sealing.
How do I know if the dovetail needs replacing?
A worn dovetail usually shows as the rear door dropping, rattling, or sitting proud, with the latch no longer engaging cleanly. Replacing the ALR5691 restores door alignment. It's typically renewed alongside its matching receiver if both faces are worn.
