Rear End Door Lock & Striker Kit for the rear end door latch mechanism on lift-up rear doors.

The kit includes the latch, the striker, the seal, and the nuts, bolts, washers and retainer plates needed to remove the old assembly and refit the new one. Together these restore the mechanical locking interface between latch and striker and re-seal the latch aperture against water ingress.

Alignment of the latch to the striker is what determines whether the door closes cleanly and the key turns without strain, so the retainer plates and fixings are supplied to allow the assembly to be set up correctly on refitting.
