Volkswagen made a steel and plastic version of these clamshell latches. These days the plastic latches have just about reached the end of their lives. For a custom GoWesty version, we decided to go with a hybrid approach; stainless steel to carry the loads from the clamshell, and a modern flexible PETG plastic to flex the latch back into place.

If the original plastic latch for your clamshell-style spare tire carrier is broken or worn out, replace it with our remade stainless steel latch assembly. This new assembly features a stainless steel latch and a strong cable latch pull for added durability. This latch will hold a heavy tire or heavy load in your GVW-VANO-SPARE-B-GONE. We have included a plastic retainer to hold the spring in place and a simple nut and bolt for easier installation.

How the spring went on was a little confusing but ok.
What I really liked was the cable pull which is super convenient for a key chain. Can I buy more little cables for Christmas presents?

Metal parts Fine

I ended up using the old metal spring, because the plastic one that was provided would not stay wrapped around the new metal catch.
