2009 Prius Trunk Rubber Replacement

In depth video of replacing the rubber cover for the trunk latch; the video works for 2nd generation Toyota Prius or 2004-2009. Very easy repair to do if your rubber cover is damaged, worn, or missing.
Enjoy!
Do this repair only if you are willing to accept full responsibility for any damages that might incur.

Flawless. Clear and simple. Thank you.

Thanks for making this. It is just what I need.

I totally lost my 10mm at the yard I found the part at. I might grab the whole hatch tomorrow morning so I have a second one for use to custom make a longer tail to lower drag and be an extension for hauling longer materials or stowing the captains booty and stuff.

Yes yes yes, thanks for the info! :-)

I hope this helps!

Where can I buy this? I can't find it anywhere except Alibaba which wants me to buy 10 of them.

[@jasonochoa3317]

I found it on amazon by looking up the part number on a Toyota website. After finding the part number a variety of sellers will pop up. You might even be able to find the ASIN on the package if you pause it at the right time.

Those are lineman’s pliers

Isn’t there a much better way to take the button off instead of taking the whole thing off?

[@jasonochoa3317]

This is the only way to get access to the hardware that holds in the button. It's a fairly easy process and shouldn't take longer than 20 minutes.

Doesn't seem like this part serves any function.

[@jasonochoa3317]

Not to you I guess. It served my satisfaction for ergonomics and vehicle maintenance.
