Title: Complete waste of money
Product review: Do not waste your money on this latch. I bought one to replace the latch that had broken off my 1984 F-150 after nearly 30 years of use. Tried installing the new latch and one of the screws broke in half while running it down with my Porter Cable cordless drill with the torque set at 2. Had to drill a new hole up to 3/16 to get the old screw out, then after filling the bigger hole with JB Stick, re-drilling and installing another screw everything seemed fine. After reading other reviews about the latch breaking, I knew I had to be very careful. Even then, I started slowly pushing the latch down to lock it, and with very little force the plastic snapped. I'm not going to bother returning an item that only costs $5 as it is not worth the trouble, but wanted to write a review to let other people know that you are better off finding a latch in a junkyard.
