Frequently asked questions

What is an antiluce cotter used for?
An antiluce cotter, also called a drop latch, is part of the tailgate retention hardware. The stepped pin passes through a latch plate on the body and drops under gravity into a slotted plate on the tailgate, holding it closed until lifted.
Why choose the stainless steel version?
Stainless steel resists the corrosion and wear that affects the original latch pins in this exposed rear position. It's a durable upgrade over a corroded original pin rather than a like-for-like replacement material.
How many cotters does a tailgate typically use?
Most tailgate installations use a pair of antiluce cotters, one on each side, so check how many latch positions your vehicle has before ordering.
