Trunk / Liftgate: Description and Operation

REAR HATCH
The rear hatch is attached to the body by two pin-type hinges riveted to the body and bolted to the hatch. A damper stay on either side of the hatch provides an assist in raising the hatch and fully supports it when it is open. A latch at the center-bottom of the opening secures the hatch in the closed position. Weather-stripping on the hatch jamb flange prevents leaks between the hatch and the body. The hatch is fully adjustable.

TRUNK TRIM
The trim is a plastic component thermosetting molding and is used to cover the interior of the vehicle. It assists vehicle insulation by covering it in addition to hiding the vehicle metal frame. It also acts as a sound barrier. It is used on all four doors of the vehicle door opening sills, A, B, C and D pillars, rear quarter area, rear hatch, and rear hatch opening sill. All door trim on the vehicle includes armrests. Each trim on the front two doors provides a pocket for keeping maps, etc.
