The lock that comes with the new vehicles are low quality cast parts which corrode at a rapid pace but the main issue is that it isn't actually a lock. It opens with a twist using anything that fits in the hole...

The lock set includes everything you need to finally lock your spare tire with a unique patterned key. It reuses the factory latch and cam as shown in the photos. Comes with two keys.

Note:

This item does not guarantee theft prevention but it's light years better than the OEM no lock at all setup!

Please view all photos and compare it to the lock on your car before ordering. Only order if the they appear the same. Does not fit 2018 and older G-Wagons.

Requires circlip pliers for disassembling the existing "lock" to then reassemble it with this keyed lock set. Requires basic mechanical inclination and use of hand tools to assemble.
