How to replace the tailgate latch on a folding top on Chevrolet Camaro?

The tailgate latch replacement process starts with opening the rear compartment lid and applying grease pencil marks to identify the latch position on the lid. Disengage the electrical connectors from both the rear compartment lid latch and from the lock cylinder actuator cable which attaches to the lock cylinder. Start by removing the nuts that connect the rear compartment lid latch to the lid and then take out the latch itself. Install the new rear compartment lid latch by aligning its marks first then secure it according to the fastener notice instructions. Screw in the nuts to 10 N.m tension (89 lb in) before connecting electrical connectors together with the lock cylinder actuator cable. You must close the rear compartment lid as the last step.
