Installation

Remove cargo first and support the trim panel. Release broken clips evenly, clean the slot and press the new retainer straight in. Verify that the panel sits flush and does not interfere with the trunk seal or latch.

FAQ

Can I use a door panel clip for trunk trim?

Only if the part number and dimensions are confirmed to match. Panel depth and trim thickness often differ.

Why does the trunk trim rattle?

Clips may be missing or loose, or the panel itself may be cracked. Inspect all attachment points.
