Purpose and function of the tailgate lock latch hook

The presented wedge operates in the rear body area and is part of the tailgate lock assembly. Its purpose is to:

• ensure secure anchoring of the lock tongue when closing the tailgate,
• maintain a stable position of the tailgate relative to the body,
• reduce play and unwanted vibrations while driving,
• work with the tailgate position adjustment to achieve even panel gaps.

Thanks to its fitment to the BMW F34 GT body structure, the wedge allows for maintaining factory closing geometry and proper operation of the seals in the rear of the vehicle.

Compatibility and fitment for BMW

The latch hook has been designed as a component dedicated to the Gran Turismo series, which translates into proper fitment with the lock and tailgate hinges. The appropriate geometry of the mounts and the shape of the working surfaces enable:

• trouble-free installation in the original mounting points,
• cooperation with the factory tailgate lock,
• maintenance of the correct body line after closing the tailgate.

As a part from the Tailgates and rear components group, the wedge is an essential element of the system responsible for the convenient and safe use of the luggage space.

Characteristics of the used component

The offered latch hook comes from dismantling, which allows for maintaining compliance with the vehicle's factory specifications. The used component is a good solution in situations where:

• the original wedge has suffered mechanical wear or deformation,
• there are problems with closing or locking the tailgate,
• an economical repair of the rear body section is necessary while maintaining the original design.

Using an original solution from the same model group reduces the risk of adjustment problems and ensures predictable tailgate behavior after installation.

Benefits of using a dedicated wedge

Replacing a worn latch hook with a properly selected component brings a number of practical benefits:

• Stable tailgate closing – proper locking reduces the risk of accidental opening while driving.
• Noise and vibration reduction – proper tightening of the tailgate limits rattling and resonance in the rear of the body.
• Better luggage protection – a properly closed tailgate helps maintain tightness and protection of transported items.
• Consistency with BMW design – using a component from the same family of solutions facilitates adjustment and service.
