What You’ll Need
Before you start, make sure you have the following tools ready:
- A Philips head screwdriver
- A flathead screwdriver
- A pair of pliers
- A thin metal rod
Step 1: Open the Trunk
The first step is to open the trunk of your Honda Civic. If you’re having difficulty, use the thin metal rod to push down the trunk latch. If you’re still having difficulty, try using the flathead screwdriver to pry open the latch.
Step 2: Unscrew the Latch
Once you’ve opened the trunk, you’ll need to unscrew the latch. Use the Philips head screwdriver to remove the screws. Make sure you remember where each screw goes, so you can put it back in the same place.
Step 3: Adjust the Latch
Next, you’ll need to adjust the latch so that it works properly. Gently pull the latch with your pliers and move it around until it fits back into place. Once it’s in place, you’ll be able to close the trunk properly.
Step 4: Replace the Screws
Finally, you’ll need to replace the screws and close the trunk. Use the Philips head screwdriver to put the screws back in their original places. Then, close the trunk, and you’re done!
And You’re Finished!
There you have it – you’ve successfully fixed the trunk latch of your Honda Civic – and you did it all yourself, even though you’re only 9-years-old! Congratulations! As the song lyric goes, “Yippee ki-yay, 9-year-old!”.
