I need what is listed in the PET as the "Rear Flap Lock, Right", this is apparently why my hatch isn't latching correctly on the right side on the 951 (there's a small piece in the receiver socket busted off). It's the piece that the hatch pin clicks into to secure it and hold it closed.

Problem is the PET lists several possible choices and I'm not sure what the heck the differences are. They're listed all under years 1983-1988.

- Rear Flap Lock (A Right) 477.827.506.A
- Rear Flap Lock (G Right) 944.538.056.00
- Rear Flap Lock (H Right) 944.538.056.01
- Rear Flap Lock (Right) 477.827.505.A
- Rear Flap Lock (Right) 944.538.055.00
- Rear Flap Lock (Right) 477.827.506.A
- Rear Flap Lock (Right) 944.538.056.00

So why the heck would the PET list five different part numbers under seven different listings for the same part and how do I know which one I need? I looked for a part # on mine but maybe I just didn't look hard enough because I didn't see one. Anyway, if anyone can tell me the "correct" one and has it, I'm interested, or else I'll have to go to the dealership for my monthly butt-raping.

Do you have any pictures of the part you need? I have a complete car that should have what you need I just need to see what it is.

Jeff,
I have the ones off of the 86 951 that I'm parting now. The different part# is probley due to different suppliers durning the production run. Working in the auto industry, when ever someone can produce a part at a better buy, price or quailty, they get the business.
