Mercury Tailgate Latch screws on the cargo door and throws off years of rough bangs. Mercury had a reputation for midsize comfort, dull cabins, and styling that avoided gimmicks without throwing families on broken pavement. Mercury continued to beat the equation of value, combining cushy suspension tuning with cabins constructed to damp wind and road so that passengers can talk without screaming. The names of Mercury stuck in memory, Cougar to Grand Marquis, because the badge was a good compromise between family practicality and other fashionable bits of swagger that made the showrooms vibrant during the decades of change. Even though this was discontinued in 2011, Mercury continues to connote an easy feel, room, and wallet-friendliness that new badges emulate in a silent manner. Tailgate Latch employs a massive pawl, corrosion-resistant springs, and a weather-resistant casing to firmly attach to the striker each time the gate is closed so that rattles and water leakage will be prevented on any remaining Cougar. Tailgate Latch, a replacement with simple hand tools, is aligned on factory holes and in no more than minutes restores owners who like driving over preferring playing tools. Tailgate Latch also preserves the gear even on bumpy roads, and as such, weekend haulers and daily commuters believe in its knot-like nature. Tailgate Latch is a 30-year-old cycle, and it explains the reason behind why this basic tool grounds the history of the rear hatch of the Cougar.
