Replace or Repair the Trunk Lid?

[Marley]

It depends on the extent of damage to the trunk lid. Here are specific evaluation methods: 1. If the trunk lid has minor damage and a small affected area, it can simply be repaired. This approach ensures safety while being cost-effective. 2. If the trunk lid sustains significant damage over a large area, replacement is recommended for safety reasons. Additional information: 1. The trunk lid serves to protect items stored in the trunk and can also mitigate impact in rear-end collisions to some extent. 2. For paint scratches on the trunk lid: minor damage can be treated with a touch-up pen; extensive damage requires repainting and polishing; if deformation occurs, professional auto body repair at a service center or 4S shop is necessary. 3. Extensive repairs to the trunk lid may compromise its structural rigidity, reducing its energy absorption capability during impacts. 4. When replacing the trunk lid, it's advisable to use a 4S shop. Although potentially more expensive, they guarantee quality parts and use original factory paint, preventing color mismatch issues.
