My tailgate opened by itself last week while driving at 90mph on a bumpy road in the desert. I just wanted to test the capabilities of a stock 2018 JLUR. Long story short my tailgate latch / actuator hook broke and it won't lock unless I manually set the hook so it can be pushed against the...

The latch on my aftermarket tire carrier broke recently. I purchased my 2017 JK used from a dealer and can’t figure out the tire carrier brand. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction to get a replacement latch or offer up any good advice. Thanks!

My '03 tailgate door will not close without some brute force "finessing." It may be the latching mechanism? It may be the hinges are no longer aligning with the door peg. It may be a combination of both... And it's hard to tell, because sometimes it closes normally, and others I have to...

I am unable to open the driver door from the outside or inside on my 98 TJ. I have removed the door panel and I am able to access the latch from the inside. Every thing seem to be operating except the hook on the latch. Anyone have any suggestions on how the get the door open? My last resort is...

Hi all, The driver's side latch on my 98 Jeep TJ aftermarket hardtop is broke. I have looked all over the internet and cannot find a workable replacement or solution. Does anyone know where I can find a latch that would work? What are these types of latches called? Below is a picture of the...

Hey y'all. I have a 04 Wrangler X with half doors and since February the side latch on my drivers side doesn't work so I've been unzipping my windows and pulling the outside latch to get out. Not that big of a deal but with it getting cold I decided it was time to fix it. Went to the...

im not sure if this is the correct forum for this but its kinda urgent because it could be dangerous in a crash. So the latch the would keep my drivers side seat in place broke meaning i can "tumble" the seat forward without pulling any of the levers. im not sure if one of the cables in the seat...

I'm looking to mount some fog/spread lights to either my hood latch or on top of the front fenders. I've seen the Rugged Ridge hood mounted off road light kit but those don't seem to be spread style. I really like the KC hilite 775 and was wondering if there was an easy way out there to...

I broke my hood latches a while ago and have been driving with a ratchet strap through the hood loop. I found these Daystar hood pin kits and they are tough and made in the U.S.A. just like my Jeep. Some work with a step bit was required but the hood had some points in it that seemed made for...

Hi everyone. I've had my 2013 2-door Sahara for two years now and I always have the same problem with it. EVERY TIME I fold the back seat down to load up groceries, dog food, etc., I can never get it to lock back into place. The last time this happened, I went to the dealer and a salesman fixed...

My tire's on a tire carrier with a bumpstop that fits very snugly against the tailgate - it essentially has to be slammed into the tailgate to close the latch on the carrier so the poor tailgate latch has endured some abuse. I'm now considering removing this piece, because today the tailgate...

I have a '12 JK and I'm finding that it's a pain to constantly move the visors out of the way every time I want to release the latches to put the top down. It's not a major issue, but it's so close that it's just one of those things that drives me crazy! Has anyone modified the latches so it...

I've been having trouble with my passenger door for as long as I've owned it, and I decided to give it a shot at fixing it myself. The outside handle opens the door rarely- I have to pull it in a certain way, by pushing my thumb against the right side of the handle, while lightly pulling on the...

Hi, I am 16, just got my license, and my brother gave me his 1990 Wrangler. He said there was a problem with the driver door since he got it, and now it has broken. It will not open from the outside. I took it to the repair shop, and he said the previous owner tinkered with the insides so...

My 03' TJ passenger seat folding latch just broke today and I was hoping some one can help. The latch, on the upper right side of the seat when sitting in it, still has a little spring in it near the top when you lift it but thats all it does now. I am pretty sure I will have to take the...

I have an '01 TJ with about 87,000 miles and hadn't had any issues at all until today when I went out to get in and the door opened really hard and then wouldn't shut. Upon further inspection the door latch doesn't line up with the tub catch. I tried adjusting the catch on the tub to no avail...
