Land Rover Part Number: LR139929 - Tailgate Latch
LR139929 is a tailgate latch that secures the tailgate within the luggage compartment tailgate lock controls. Fitted to the tailgate structure, it forms the mechanical locking interface with the vehicle body by engaging the tailgate striker to hold the tailgate closed; it integrates with the exterior and interior release mechanisms as well as the central locking system. The latch contains the catch and release components required for secure closure and repeatable alignment and is designed to withstand repeated opening and closing cycles. Common faults include worn or damaged catch surfaces, misalignment with the striker, or contamination of moving parts; replacing the latch restores positive engagement and correct alignment within the lock assembly.
