Damage during latch service or trim removal can prevent the original cover from seating correctly. A loose cover can also move or rattle against the surrounding trim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspect the cover attachment and mating trim before fitting a replacement. Broken receiving features or damaged surrounding panels require their own repair. A cover does not control the latch's locking or release function; a trunk that does not latch or release correctly needs diagnosis of the latch, actuator, striker and related wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe table identifies confirmed original trunk and liftgate applications.
