The escutcheon behind the tailgate and the cargo door handles have a dual function, it holds the latch in place when closing and serves as an aesthetic finish. Rust is not always the main reason why this escutcheon must be replaced. If used frequently, the part in which the locking pin disappears wears when it is closed. Replacement is the only solution. Delivered without seal, please add it if necessary (see options tab).
