81230F6010 Hyundai / KIA LATCH ASSY-TRUNK LID, Price: 218.46$, Weight: 0.3kg

Trunk Lid Latch Assembly — secure, quiet, and reliable ?

Why this part is needed

This boot lock keeps the deck lid firmly shut, aligns it to the striker, and tells the car’s control module the trunk is safely closed. It prevents rattles, water ingress, and theft, while ensuring the interior light and alarm behave correctly ?. Replacing a tired latch restores smooth opening and confident closure.

How it works

Inside is a hardened hook (pawl) that grips the striker. When you press the key fob or trunk switch, an electric actuator releases the pawl; a return spring and guide cam manage the catch. An integrated microswitch reports “closed/ajar” to the cluster. Built for corrosion resistance and consistent pull-in. OE ref 81230F6010 ?️.

What happens if it’s broken

Symptoms include: lid won’t latch or bounces back, “trunk open” warning, false alarm triggers, interior light drains battery, noisy bumps, or moisture/dust in cargo area ?. You may need to slam the lid or the remote release may feel weak.

Replacement tips

It’s a direct bolt-on. Disconnect battery, transfer the connector and emergency release, set latch to striker, torque evenly, and apply a light plastic-safe grease. Check switch status, confirm smooth pop via key fob, and fine-tune alignment if closing force is high ✅.
