Gledewen Tailgate Latch Rebuild Kit for Chevy Silverado & GMC Sierra 2007–2014 — Full Left/Right Assembly with Cables & Handle

Gledewen Tailgate Latch Rebuild Kit is a complete replacement assembly that restores secure tailgate operation on 2007–2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks.

If your pickup’s tailgate won’t latch, rattles, or causes the alarm to trigger, this full rebuild kit provides the parts needed to return the tailgate to factory-like function. The kit bundles both left and right latches, support cables, hinge kits, rods, handle and bezel, hardware and gaskets so you can perform a comprehensive repair in one job rather than hunting individual components.

What exactly comes in the Gledewen tailgate rebuild kit?

The kit is supplied as a full, vehicle-specific replacement set so you get both sides and all the small parts that commonly fail. It replaces the worn or bent components that cause closing, locking, or alarm issues with the tailgate.

• Left and right rear tailgate latches
• Left and right support cables and hinge kits
• Tailgate handle and bezel trim plus two latch rods
• Seven bolts, two gaskets and additional small parts for assembly

Which trucks will this kit fit and which OEM numbers does it replace?

This rebuild kit is engineered to match fit and function for a range of Silverado and Sierra models from the late 2000s to mid-2010s. It covers multiple OEM part numbers so it works as a direct replacement for common factory items.

• Fits: 2007–2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and 2007–2014 Silverado 2500HD/3500HD
• Also fits: 2007–2013 GMC Sierra 1500 and 2007–2014 Sierra 2500HD/3500HD
• Replaces OE numbers including 11609938, 15283049, 15283050, 25838260, GM1915125, and others

How does this kit address common tailgate problems?

Wear, bending or broken components inside the latch and hinge assemblies commonly cause tailgates to fail to close, lock intermittently, make noises, or trip alarms. Replacing the entire assembly removes those failure points and restores proper alignment and secure locking.

• Restores consistent latching and unlocking action
• Eliminates rattles and abnormal locking noises
• Prevents false alarm triggers related to tailgate sensor/latch faults

How difficult is installation and what should I expect?

The rebuild kit is designed to be a direct-fit replacement using the original attachment points. Basic mechanical skills and common hand tools are sufficient for most DIYers, but a second person can help with alignment and cable routing to speed the job.

• Direct-replacement parts match OEM mounting locations
• Typical tools: ratchet, sockets, screwdrivers, and pliers
• Allow time to transfer and torque fasteners, route cables, and adjust latch alignment

Who this is for: This kit is intended for Silverado and Sierra owners, independent mechanics, and body shops who want a cost-effective, factory-matching solution to tailgate latch, hinge, cable, and handle failures. It’s ideal when multiple tailgate components are worn or damaged and you prefer a single, consolidated repair instead of piecemeal parts. Gledewen supplies a new, rust-resistant latch housing and OEM-compatible components so you can restore safe tailgate operation at a fraction of dealer pricing.
