Dorman - HELP Tailgate Latch P/N:38671
Help keep your tailgate securely latched with the Dorman tailgate latch assembly, part number 38677, designed to fit and work like the original latch it replaces. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2007-2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, the 2007-2019 GMC Sierra 1500 and the 2007-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
A tailgate latch catches and holds the tailgate in the closed position, then lets it go when you work the handle. If a worn or broken original latch is the reason your tailgate won't stay shut or won't open, this assembly replaces it. The catalog lists it for both the left and right positions.
Signs this part may need replacing include a tailgate that won't latch or pops open, one that won't release when you pull the handle, or a rattle because one side isn't catching.
