My Vanagon has manual locks in the rear hatch. Will this Lock Cylinder replacement kit work for my vehicle and come with keys?

Yes, this rear hatch Lock Cylinder replacement kit is specifically designed for Vanagon models that do NOT have power locks. It comes complete with two new keys, so you'll have a fresh set to operate your newly replaced lock cylinder.

How do I know if I need the early or late model Vanagon lock cylinder? My van is a 1983.

For Vanagon models, the early range is typically 1980-1983, and the late range is 1984-1991. Since your Vanagon is a 1983, you will need the 'Early (1980-1983)' lock cylinder option. Please ensure you select the correct year range from the dropdown menu before purchasing.

I'm trying to replace my rear hatch lock, but I want to keep my original keys. Can I do that with this kit?

Absolutely! If you prefer to keep your original keys and only need a new housing for your lock cylinder, you can easily swap out the cylinders. Simply remove the pin from this new cylinder, and then insert your original lock cylinder into the new housing. This allows you to retain your existing key setup.

Does this rear hatch Lock Cylinder kit include the rubber gasket that seals the lock to the body of the van?

This Lock Cylinder kit does not include the lock-to-body gasket. You have two options: you can reuse the original gasket from your old lock cylinder if it's still in good condition, or you can purchase a new gasket separately to ensure a fresh seal. We recommend checking the condition of your existing gasket before installation.

I removed my electronic rear hatch lock, and installed this one. Easiest to remove rear inside panel to access internal lock and remove broken lock. Use a molding remover tool so you don't thrash your panel.
