2009 Cadillac XLR Trunk Latch Parts and Q&A

• Q: How to replace the rear compartment trunk latch on 2009 Cadillac XLR?

  A: You can start replacing the trunk latch after opening the trunk and pulling back the middle carpet in the rear floor. Detach the electrical connector and manual release cable from the latch. Keep the latch space marked before you remove the rear fascia to prepare its new location. Take out the latch and remove its nuts from the trunk panel attachment. Install the latch into the trunk panel by placing it back in its proper position with proper fastener handling. Anchor the latch system by fastening the nuts through their threads until they get tight at 10 Nm torque. Rejoin the manual release cable part and electrical wires to the latch mechanism. Put back the rear fascia then adjust the center carpet for the trunk and shut its doors.
