Additional Information About the Service
Trunk Lid Repair is a comprehensive service aimed at restoring its normal function and protecting the trunk from moisture and dirt. Our goal is not just to put the lid back in place but to ensure it lasts long and does not cause any issues.
Diagnosis and Preparation for Repair
First, we carefully inspect the trunk lid and all its components. We check for any damage to the metal, the condition of the struts, seals, and glass. Special attention is given to the struts - if they are worn out, the lid may not stay open, creating inconvenience and a risk of injury. We also check the sealing of the seals to prevent water from entering.
Restoration and Replacement of Parts
Depending on the condition, we either restore damaged areas or replace parts. For example, if there are small dents in the metal, we will straighten them and paint them so that the lid looks new. We always recommend replacing seals with new ones, as they quickly lose elasticity and do not protect against moisture. We carefully remove the glass and reinstall it if it is in good condition, or replace it if necessary. Struts are usually replaced entirely, as attempts to repair them rarely yield good results.
Final Assembly and Testing
After all the work is done, we reassemble the lid, install it back on the vehicle, and adjust it so that it opens and closes easily and securely. We check for any gaps and water leaks, testing the operation of the struts. If needed, we adjust the mounts for a perfect fit. The entire process usually takes a few hours, but the result is worth it - the trunk will be dry and convenient to use again.
