Trunk latch bounces open Hey guys, My 2001 Honda Civic EX trunk latch will not stay latched, I have tried adjusting the striker plate up, down, left and right. I cannot get the latch to lock onto the striker bar. The latch can be pushed into closed position with a screwdriver, but when closing the trunk (normally) the latch wont completely click onto the striker bar. Is the latch no good? I also screwed the rubber bumpers that prevent rumbling all the way in. And lastly I sprayed the hell out of the latch with WD40. Still no luck.. Thanks in advance Premium Member Hey! Look At Me!!

Re: Trunk latch bounces open if you tried all those adjustments, you prolly need a new latch. if you have aftermarket alarm, why not go with the 01 accord electric latch that you can wire to the alarm and have a remote trunk opener. Registered!! iTrader: (1)

Re: Trunk latch bounces open the latch does not have that much adjustment pull it off and shimm it with some washers between the latch and the body. doing this moves the latch higher giving it a better chance to lock on. this is a notorious problem with the carbon fiber trunks Registered!!

Re: Trunk latch bounces open Make sure that the return cable from the drivers seat is returning the latch release to it's closed position. This was the problem on my '02. Registered!!

Re: Trunk latch bounces open I think I threw away my stock trunk lock, otherwise you could have it for free. Just pick up an Accord actuator and hook it to your alarm like gearbox said. winning

Re: Trunk latch bounces open my 03 and 02 have the same issue. Honda wants 87 bucks for a new latch. i tried moving the striker around and i checked the cable for release too but it appears the plastic has just worn down so much there's nothing to push the latch over and lock. i may look into the accord latch as mentioned previously "Come to terms with your slow *** whip"

Re: Trunk latch bounces open Check your rubber stoppers on the left and right side of the trunk, make sure theyre not sticking out too much if they are twist them to the right and theyll go back in. Probably wont make a difference but just one more thing to try. If the latch is broken go on www.car-part.com and find one at a scrap yard in your area Thread Thread Starter Honda Civic Forum Replies Last Post Wankenstein Mechanical Problems/Vehicle Issues and Fix-it Forum 18 08-17-2015 08:02 AM h4ldol 7th Generation Civic 2001 - 2005 19 07-28-2015 01:01 AM brainwashedmc Mechanical Problems/Vehicle Issues and Fix-it Forum 11 07-27-2015 10:05 PM ayoitzjulesdx98 Mechanical Problems/Vehicle Issues and Fix-it Forum 1 07-26-2015 02:25 PM bdrickybd Mechanical Problems/Vehicle Issues and Fix-it Forum 4 07-25-2015 04:35 PM 01, 2001, 2002, 2006, adjustment, ajustment, carbon, change, civic, fiber, honda, install, latch, open, trunk
Can you open a Honda Civic trunk from the inside?If you don't have the key, there are a few ways to open the Honda Civic trunk without it. You can use your car's remote if you have one. If your car has an emergency release, push down on the center console and lift up on the trunk lid from inside the vehicle.
