Is the trunk lid replaced by a 4S shop the same as the original one?

It is the same as the original. If the trunk lid is damaged, it will be consistent with the original after repair. Additional information is as follows: 1. Original parts: Mainly from the OEM and 4S shops, with branded packaging. 2. Branded parts: There are many names, but they are actually aftermarket parts, mainly from various manufacturers of different sizes, with varying quality and possibly significant price differences. Some manufacturers may have previously been suppliers to the OEM but were excluded from the procurement list for certain reasons. Others may produce unverified products (which can be understood as counterfeit goods), with no quality assurance at all.

The trunk lid replaced at a 4S dealership is usually an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part, with quality nearly identical to the factory-installed component. I noticed this when repairing my car before. 4S shops source parts directly from manufacturers, ensuring matching designs and materials—once installed, there's no visible difference in appearance or functionality. However, the installation process is equally crucial—technician expertise may affect fitment, such as gap alignment or sealing performance, which determines whether the trunk leaks during rain. Nowadays, many 4S shops follow strict service protocols, using professional calibration tools and providing part warranties to prevent future rust or abnormal noise issues. Overall, choosing a 4S store prioritizes peace of mind by avoiding the risks of aftermarket parts. For daily car maintenance, I believe incorporating body component checks during routine servicing helps prevent minor issues from escalating.

Replacing the trunk lid at a 4S shop is something I often recommend to friends because it ensures OEM-sourced parts that perform just like when the car was new. The 4S shop's supply chain is stable, and though replacement parts from newer batches might have slight color adjustments, they're indistinguishable once installed – I've personally experienced this, with no issues even after years of use. Price-wise, while more expensive than roadside stalls, it includes installation and after-sales service, making free repairs for any issues more cost-effective. Just think about aftermarket lids in the modification market – cheaper but less crash-resistant and prone to leaks, which is hardly worry-free. As for maintenance advice, I always remind people to test the seal before long trips after replacement, like splashing some water to check for leaks – small precautions can prevent big problems.

The trunk lid replaced at a 4S store is guaranteed to be authentic. I've driven several cars with such replacements, and they fit seamlessly with the original factory design. The parts are supplied directly by the manufacturer and installed with professional instrument calibration, ensuring tight gaps and leak-proof performance. Safety is absolutely non-negotiable—an ill-fitting lid might not close properly, affecting high-speed driving stability, which the 4S process avoids. Plus, it comes with warranty documentation. In contrast, don't be tempted by cheap alternatives from small shops using aftermarket parts, as they're made of inferior materials prone to rust, leading to endless troubles.

How to Repair Minor Car Scratches?

You can first use scratch wax, applying it with a waxing sponge to polish the scratched area, moving in one direction either clockwise or counterclockwise. If the rust is not severe, you can use very fine water sandpaper dipped in water to gently remove the rust spots, but avoid sanding randomly—always sand in straight lines in the same direction. Applying toothpaste can temporarily prevent rust. Clean the scratch with water and let it dry, then slightly dampen a towel, apply toothpaste to it, and rub the scratch firmly.

How to Repair Small Dents on Your Car by Yourself

First, insert the glue stick into the glue gun and heat it for a few minutes. Then, slowly apply the glue from left to right onto the suction cup. Use the residual heat to gently attach the suction cup to the stress point of the larger dent. Then, connect the "T"-shaped tool to the head of the suction cup and evenly pull the suction cup out. Repeat the previous steps until the noticeable small dents are mostly pulled out. Use a hook to slowly "push" out the smaller dented areas. Finally, use a rubber hammer to smooth out any slightly protruding parts.
