I'm attaching a couple pictures of my old one (the "new" non-functioning one is still on the car). :? One is a close-up of the latch itself (you may be able to see the piece that actually has broken in both the old & new locks). Second one is of the other side. I need the entire assemb...

Part number is 8628197. It's the tailgate latch assembly. Looks similar to the one in the link below.

I am looking to purchase a used Tailgate Latch assembly (lock assembly) for my 2000 Volvo V70 XC. This vehicle does not have the 3rd row seat. The part number for the assembly is P/N 8628197. I believe that 1999 & 2000 V70 latches are the same, and that some 1998 V70 latches (depending on vin or...

So you can buy another used one (roll the dice again), or you can buy a new one. Rolling the dice again could be similarly frustrating, at this point I w...

Hi, are you sure it's broken? Can't you get a screwdriver into that gap and pry the latch back to normal position, so when it hits the loop on the base it levers it into place? It's a little blurry, but in the close-up photo you can see 2 pieces of the lock mechanism. There's a jagged edge above th...

We have a 2000 Volvo V70 XC, AWD, 5 cylinder, automatic. After on & off issues with the tailgate latch, it broke late last year. We replaced it with a used one in January. Unlike the previous latch, which gave some warning signs & would intermittently work, the replacement one just broke. We...
