Crucial Fitment Note: This bracket is located inside the trunk lock assembly, not the hood. Please verify your vehicle's model and year before ordering.Precision Linkage & Restored Trunk Function: This actuator bracket (relay lever) is engineered to replace the original plastic component that is prone to cracking and failure. It resolves common trunk issues including the trunk failing to open electronically, requiring the manual key release to access the trunk, or a trunk that will not latch securely. Upgrading to a durable metal bracket restores reliable trunk operation and provides a permanent solution.Plug-and-Play Installation: Direct bolt-on replacement with factory mounting points. Installation requires removing the trunk lid trim panel and unbolting the old bracket from the lock carrier assembly. Basic hand tools are required. Professional installation is recommended for those unfamiliar with trunk lock mechanisms.Quality Assured: Built with durable aluminum materials (on select upgraded models), rigorously tested to ensure reliable, long-lasting performance and to prevent future cracking issues common with the original plastic design.
