Rear Trunk Boot Lid Liftgate Lock Latch Fit for VW Volkswagen Golf GTI MK6 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 5K0827505A US Warehouse

I took a leap of faith, since this part is made for MK6 and I have a MK7. The MK7 is $300+, so I figured it's worth trying. Works perfectly. I needed to replace it, since it wouldn't latch anymore and showed "Trunk Open" all the time. So happy this worked out. Dealer wanted $800 to do the replace!I bought a $11 torx set from Home Depot. All you need is t20 and t40 to do the install. I couldn't find an M8 at Home Depot, but the t40 fits fine. Super easy install. Tearing off the panel is the toughest part, and pushing it back in. I didn't take the panel off, to make it easier. I just pulled it down enough to do the replace.

Took me 5 minutes to install, and it works perfectly. Been using it for a month now and no issues.

The trunk latch went out in our beetle last year and the only replacements I could find online were nearly $200, so I've been putting off fixing it. Then, on a whim, I checked Amazon and found this guy for an amazing price.I was skeptical, but figured it was worth the risk to save a lot. I installed it a week ago and it's an identical match and fit to the original actuator. Works like a charm. I should've bought this one a long time ago.

Latch was delivered quickly. It’s only been 2 days since the install, so far it works perfectly.

Fit perfectly on my 2011 GTI. Old part came out easily and new one went in with no hassle.

quality was assuredly not like OEM, but then again it was 25% of the cost. It when in easy and worked straight away

My VW dealership quoted $425 to replace this item on my 2012 Golf. I watched 3 U-Tube videos, realized this was something within my skill set, and ordered the part and tools needed. It all came to about $80 and took me about 30 minutes. Getting the interior trim panel clips to reseat was a bit of a struggle, as was the electrical clip connection, but it looks just like the original unit, works like the original unit, and was well worth the effort. Couldn't be happier.

I hate to write a bad review but this part is only lasted for over a month (started failing couple of weeks after purchase). This is my second actuator from Amazon and both failed within 2 to 3 months. "Well" i guess that's what happened when buying cheap parts... Too late to return this item.Just to follow up: The merchant contacted me and replaced the defective part. Thank you for the quick response! so far so good, no issues yet. I changed the ratings from 2 to 5 based on the positive outcome and good costumer service.
