Junk In The Trunk

When you try to close it, does the latch ♦click♦?

Do you hear a ♦click♦ when you press the console hatch release?



Happy Racing!

Re: Trunk Will not close

it was clicking but then i pulled off that plastic panel to look at the motor/mechanism for it and the plastic guides that let it move up and down just fell apart and now basically its all broken... Where can i replace the entire mechanism?

By swapping the unit, it’ll be a faster pit stop than rebuilding your old one.


Happy Racing!
