A-Premium Trunk Latch Actuator for Volkswagen Golf Jetta Tiguan - Rear Liftgate 4‑Pin OE Fit, Durable Metal Reinforced

This A-Premium rear trunk latch actuator is built to match OE fit and function for select VW Golf, Jetta, and Tiguan wagons and SUVs. It comes with a 4-pin connector and is made from reinforced plastic and high-density metal for longer service life.
