Condition
Some customers may comment that one or both of the rear storage compartment latches have separated or broken from the housing.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the storage compartment latch rivets pulling out of the housing, which may also cause the latch to break.
Correction
Replace the storage compartment latch with a revised latch using the procedure below.
Important
Use caution when drilling out the rivets. Do not enlarge the holes in the compartment lid.
1. Remove any remaining broken latch components (1) from the storage compartment. Drill out the rivets from remaining broken parts if required.
2. Inspect the storage compartment lid for damage or cracks around the latch mounting surface (1). Replace the storage compartment if damage is evident. Refer to Rear Storage Compartment Replacement in SI.
Important
Use only a 1/8 in diameter by 5/8 in long pop rivet with a 1/8 in inside diameter by 3/8 in outside diameter back-up washer to install the latch.
3. Install the revised latch using a 1/8 in diameter by 5/8 in long pop rivet (1).
Install the 1/8 in inside diameter by 3/8 in outside diameter back-up washer (1) when installing the rivet to ensure the rivet does not pull through.
