5822A016 Mitsubishi STOPPER,BACK DOOR SAFETY, Price: 59.85$, Weight: 1.353kg

Back Door Safety Stopper for Mitsubishi SUVs

This compact tailgate buffer is a small part with a big job. It sets the final closing position of the rear door, cushions impact, and keeps the tailgate aligned with the body. By controlling the stop, it protects hinges, latch, glass, and paint, giving you a quiet, solid close every time.

Why you need it ✅

On heavy SUV tailgates, a precise stop is essential. This stopper absorbs closing energy, maintains weather-seal pressure, and prevents metal-to-metal contact. It reduces rattles and squeaks on rough roads, extends the life of gas struts and the latch, and keeps your cargo area dry and dust-free.

How it works ⚙️

A molded elastomer block, mounted to the body or the door, compresses during closing to create a controlled, cushioned stop. The engineered hardness (durometer) sets the shut-line and preload. When opening, it acts as a limiter so the tailgate doesn’t over-swing. Proper fit preserves alignment and protects paint.

If it’s worn or broken ❗

• Rattling or buzzing tailgate over bumps
• Door rebounds or needs an extra hard slam
• Water or dust leaks from poor seal contact
• Scuffed paint, latch striker wear, risk to glass

Pro tips

Replace in pairs if applicable, clean the mounting pad, torque fasteners to spec, and lightly silicone the rubber face. After install, adjust the striker to match the new stop height for a firm, quiet close.
