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.

Lexus LS400 V8-4.0L - Ball Joint Front Replacement (Lower Left, Lower Right) - Arlington, Texas

Although not at the expected time arrival, Jacob immediately got to work and he was honest about the conditions of my car's suspension. After the replacement of the ball joints I felt a great difference and I knew he'd done a great job. He even went above and beyond to help my work out a smaller issue I was having with my car but all in all he was trustworthy and I would recommend him.

Lexus LS400 V8-4.0L - Door Lock Switch Replacement (Driver Side Front) - Seattle, Washington

I was pleasantly surprised Ian was early. I found him courteous, engaging, knowledgeable, patient and friendly. He completed his work in a very timely fashion. I was VERY happy with the results of his work. I appreciated his candor and explanation of what he did and what he found during courtesy inspection. "Thank you Ian". I would recommend Ian without reservation.
