I came out of the store today and put grocery's in the back, my freakin trunk latch on the right side cracked off, the whole latch just cracked off and i never noticed it rusted like that before.

..If anybody knows if the little two notch on the latch have bolts under them, like 10mm, then if i could take my roof linear off and take the latch off to go get another trunk to put on or what.

 

pic?

I assume , since you say "trunk" you have a 4dr

 

No i got a hatch, im talking about those little latch that hold on the trunk, the right one broke off completely.

 

Pix? Can't really tell what ur talking about.

hey guys, when you open the rear of HB is that called the trunk?
I never thought about it

 

Two latch hold the "trunk" of a hatchbacks rear end on, there on the top. If you go outside and look at the latch you will see two 10mm hold the trunk onto the latch but the latch themselves are welded it seems onto the body of the car, the latch on the right side broke off the body.

 

The two LATCH..i circled them, you see them when you open the trunk, the right one broke OFF.

 

It ripped right out of the body? If the body is still straight, you'd just need a new hatch.

the "welds" you see are actually seam sealer. drop the rear part of the headliner to access the bolts.

it's called a hatchback for a reason. not a trunkback

sorry to be picky but isnt the LATCH where the hatch latches and the HINGE(circled) where the hatch hinges?

PS
I hope it is easy to fix and that who helps you doesnt start working on the wrong part of your car .....lol

 

I can do it myself, i just had to be clear from one of you if the bottom of the notches on the latches that hold the trunk have 10mm below them under hte roof linear, thanks.
