Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 3/5
- Estimated time: 1-2 hours (with an assistant)
Instructions:
- Prepare the vehicle: park on level ground, open the trunk lid, and disconnect the negative battery terminal if wiring will be disconnected.
- Support the existing trunk lid with a helper or trunk stand. Remove interior trunk trim if required to access bolts and wiring.
- Disconnect any trunk wiring harnesses (license lamp, trunk release) and detach the latch cable or linkage as needed.
- Loosen and remove the hinge-to-body fasteners while the lid is supported. Carefully lift the old trunk lid away and set it on a protected surface.
- Transfer components from the old lid to the new lid (lock assembly, hinges, latch striker, rubber bumpers, weatherstrip, and trim) following the reverse order of removal.
- Prepare mounting surfaces by cleaning and removing rust or debris; apply corrosion inhibitor if desired.
- With a helper, position the new trunk lid on the hinges and install hinge bolts loosely to allow for alignment adjustments.
- Adjust lid position for even gaps and proper flush fit—use masking tape as a visual guide and move the lid until alignment is satisfactory.
- Once aligned, tighten hinge bolts to factory torque specifications. Reconnect wiring harnesses, latch cables, and verify latch engagement.
- Reinstall interior trim and weatherstripping as needed. Cycle the trunk open/closed several times to confirm smooth operation and proper sealing.
- Prime, paint, and finish the new trunk lid to match the vehicle if it is supplied in bare or primed metal; observe paint curing instructions before final installation of trim.
