Instructions:
- Open and support the trunk lid so you have clear access to the latch area.

- Clean mounting surfaces of dirt, grease and corrosion to ensure a flat contact area for the new catches.
- Position the new catch over the mounting holes and start the fasteners by hand to ensure proper thread engagement.
- Loosely tighten all fasteners, then close the trunk slowly to check striker engagement and alignment.
- Adjust the catch position as needed for smooth, centered latching; when satisfied, tighten fasteners evenly and securely (use a torque wrench to factory specs if available).
