To replace the tailgate lock on a Volkswagen Tiguan, you need to loosen the screws that secure the trim panel inside the tailgate: once this is removed, you can locate the screws that secure the lock from the inside. This can then be completely released by unscrewing the screws that hold it and disconnecting the power cables.

Now you can insert the new lock, ensuring it is secured properly and connected to the appropriate cables.
