What is the Trunk Latch all about?

The trunk latch is the mechanism that holds a trunk closed. When the trunk latch is engaged, the trunk can only be opened by a handheld remote or a key.

In most newer cars, a trunk latch works much the same as a door latch. Generally, two components make up the trunk latch: the U shaped anchor, which sits in the frame of the vehicle, and the latching mechanism in the lid to the trunk. Either or both pieces could fail, causing the trunk latch to malfunction. The trunk latch can be triggered with the same handheld remote that opens the car door.

Older cars generally use a cylinder system that can be opened with a key. This system operates using a cylinder and striker, and the key that is used generally matches the door locks. The latch that holds the trunk locked is located in the striker.

Keep in mind:

  • While this may not seem like a serious issue, if the trunk latch opens suddenly in traffic, debris could be blown out of your trunk and into the path of other vehicles.

How it's done:

  • The trunk latch is verified to be needing replaced
  • The defective trunk latch is removed
  • The new trunk latch is installed
  • The inside trim panel is reinstalled to complete repair
  • The trunk is checked for proper operation

Our recommendation:

If you suspect that the trunk latch has failed, or is about to fail, call our expert mechanics to diagnose the trunk latch. There are different components that make up the trunk latch, so it’s important to know which part is failing before repairs are begun.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Trunk Latch?

  • Trunk won’t stay closed
  • Trunk has to be slammed hard to get the latch to engage
  • Latch comes open if the car is jostled, such as hitting a bump or stopping suddenly

How important is this service?

While it may not be a huge deal to the driver, it will be a huge deal to anyone who ends up with a trunk load of groceries in their path if items are blown out of an open trunk. Any items secured in the trunk may not be safe.

Amor is terrific. I will avoid ever taking any of my vehicles to the dealership. Amor inspected my front brake pads (a service the I felt I was prepared to have done based on the recommendation of a dealership. He inspected my brakes and informed me that I had from 50%-60% of wear remaining on my front and rear brakes. Talk about honesty. I will use your mechanic services whenever I need a scheduled maintenance or repair in the future.

Hyundai Genesis V6-3.8L - Spark Plugs - Redmond, Washington
This is my first time using this service. I priced around with the local shops, the dealer, and this site. The pricing was about $100 cheaper in average here and all my friends were curious (A.K.A. they wanted me to be the guinea pig). I'm always apprehensive talking to mechanics; I will have to say that Robert was a true professional. He also made me feel very comfortable and felt that I could trust him right away. Not many people make me feel like that. Great people skills. He was very prompt and communicated very well on appointment schedule and expectations. As for the technical mechanic aspect, it was mind blowing. I really appreciate that I could go onto this site and know that Robert is available to fix my car for anything. Yes, I will definitely use this again and yes, I will ask for Robert Mischka. I have full trust that the job will be done right, clean, efficient, and with detail. No, he didn't need to leave my engine cleaner than he found it but I appreciate it very much as a detailed person myself. lol I know everyone has some type of placebo feeling after getting something replaced or fixed but that isn't this case. I know for a fact and monitored performance, shakes, noises, and feel of the car for the duration of ownership. After Robert was done, the car feels great! Super quiet, shakes are gone, no more cold start noises, and better performance and consistency. It's magic when a mechanic touches your car and everything is nice and better than you've ever had it. I know spark plugs will also help a lot but Robert made the whole experience trusting, easy, professional, and amazing. He has skills! Thank you so much!
