Q: How to replace the lower trunk latch on GMC Safari?
A: Begin your project to install a new lower trunk/liftgate latch by taking off the trim panel. A sharp-bladed tool lets you separate the weather strip deflector at its perforation if needed. Remove the lock assembly bolts after removing the control rod. Additionally, you can detach the reinforcement and bolts. To start the job remove the latch components from the door and take off the rod and retainer from the latch assembly. One side of the job starts by putting the control rod and retainer onto the latch. Position the retainer right to stop squeaks and vibrations during installation. Reassemble the door parts starting with the latch and retainer and fasten the bolts at 8 N.m (71 lb in). Replace the nylon retainers at every rod removal and installation. Simply place the control rod on its holder at the lock system before setting the water deflector in place and replacing the trim panel.
