How to Disassemble a Car Trunk Latch?
2 Answers
Car trunk latches can be slowly pried open with a flat-head screwdriver and then pulled out. Below is an introduction to the trunk: 1. Basic Information: The car trunk serves as the vehicle's storage compartment, where various items can be stored. It is prone to getting dirty, but with a trunk mat, everything changes. 2. Materials: Currently, there are trunk mats made of TPE, silicone, carpet, and plastic on the market. Each material has its pros and cons. 3. Volume: A common measurement for sedans is the trunk capacity without folding down the rear seats. For some convertible models, the trunk volume varies depending on whether the roof is open or closed. Therefore, manufacturers provide both maximum and minimum values, indicating a range.
When it comes to removing trunk clips, I'm an old hand at this! First, prepare a plastic pry bar and a small flathead screwdriver – the key is not to scratch the car paint with metal tools. Locate the clip positions, commonly found between the interior trim panel and the trunk gap. Insert the pry bar into the edge gap of the clip and gently lift upwards until you hear a click, indicating it's loosened. The clip has a barbed structure in the middle, so when removing, pull it out following the angle—never yank it forcefully. Don't toss the removed clips around; keep them organized in a small box. If the plastic head breaks, don’t panic—just search for "car model + clips" on Taobao, where you can buy a bunch of replacements for just a few bucks. DIY replacement saves hundreds compared to going to the 4S shop!
