thanks the dealer wanted 400 to replace the latch. You're the man.
Bananafone wow!!! We take checks and first born😜
Same here, I told them to piss the fuck off.
Bananafone Yes I had it replaced by the dealer the first time under warranty , now I will get out there and see if that is my Robles 🤣❣️
Thank you so much for this video. I just fixed mine today after going two months with it broke. Best fix ever! I’m so happy now I can open my trunk again. You were so precise in showing step by step, that even me that’s never worked on cars or knew what I was doing, was able to go through the steps you provided and got it fixed. I wasn’t sure if that what was wrong with it. But when I got it apart sure enough the plastic stopper was broke off. Again thank you! people like you that make these videos make it possible for people like me to do things without paying someone. Much love!!
Well that was an adventure lol! I followed exactly what the video said, then had issues with it not latching after the first shut. I altered positions of the gear in every which way. FINALLY, I lowered the new screw to about half way up the wall of the “crescent moon” thing and BOOM! It latches and unlocks every time now. Thank you! For all those who watch the video, it WILL depend almost solely on how much you screw in the new screw. Good luck! This will save you a nice chunk from the dealership or buying a non genuine part that may not fit.
Hadn't seen the inside of my trunk in months... thanks so much for the video. Dealer was charging me $400 to replace it.
This did the trick. The button that you press on to open the truck...some CZcamsrs recommend replacing that to fix the issue, but you need to look at the taillights and see if it lights up and makes a clicking sound when you press on the button. If you can hear and see it working then it's the latch actuator which is what you see in this video. If you don't see the taillights light up then it's the latch switch that has gone bad and you will need to purchase a replacement(Part# 81260-2V000). So do some troubleshooting so you can save yourself time and money.
Very Helpful video. Helped me fix my veloster same day it broke! Cant thank you enough for this high quality content.
Thanks!!!! I took it apart, noticed there was some white plastic pieces broken, didn’t seem like anything was broken, didn’t see a bump stop tho....but took out chipped off pieces, reset gears, and it worked 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thanks so much for the video man. My Veloster just came out of warranty cover. Thanks to your video I am able to fix the issue. Thanks a million my brother
Thanks heaps!!!!! The dealer wanted to charge $180 just to have a look and then they wouldn’t tell me how much the part and labour would cost, so I’m guessing around $400, as another watcher mentioned. Looking forward to a video that’ll show us how to actually take it out of the car 😃
Thank you man, that's really a helper.
Once I took out the latch that broken piece fell down.
Very easy and perfect solution.
Can't thank you enough.
Thanks, my guy. I took my latch apart and it was broke in that exact spot. Took a screw out of my tv remote and saved $150 getting a whole new mechanism.
THIS IS GREAT THANK YOU, JUST SAVED ME A LATCH FOR $135 PLUS TAX, THANKS AGAIN
Hey Mate, Thank you so much for this post ,removed the lock did what you said, turned out it was jammed all fixed in 20 mins . Your video legend ..thank you .. Regards Mark
Thanks for posting this tutorial. I have a new latch on the way from S Korea. In the meantime the Mrs can use the hatch. Needless to say, that is priceless.
You are the Man!
DUDE! you just saved me so much money and time/hassle probably. I probably thought it was the electric button so I found one on Amazon for 10$ and got that installed and turned out that it wasn't! It was the issue you explained in this video. I took the actual latch off and took the cover off and reflipped that little latch over the gear and put everything back and it works!!!😁😁 thank you so much.
It worked...Thanks! My latch/handle broke and then approx three months later the bump stop eventually wore out too. Mine made it 7 yrs 120k+ miles. My broken bump stop had (white) silicone or rubber around it too.
Great video! Just did this repair this afternoon 👍👍
Holy moly did this work like a charm!! Took me more than 20 minutes, and I broke a few of the yellow couple clips that I had to pop open to get the latch off the car to begin with.... And for the record who thought a safety latch should need a screwdriver if stuck in the trunk is a complete idiot (yes, I'm taking to you Hyundai).
Thank you thank you thank you!!! $0 dollars and all fixed!
Thank you so much. The video is awesome and it saved me lots of money. It literally took me the 20 minutes you said.
This is a great video. Very very helpful. Thankyou. I just wanted to point at that on my locking mechanism when I placed the white lever on the white gear piece I had to line the teeth up differently than what was shown to get mine to work. My Veloster is a 2013. Don’t know if there could be a subtle difference from one year to the next. So if it’s not quite working smoothly try lining the teeth up where they line up at the bottom of the gear vs the top. Doing it this way aloud the white lever to make contact with the small circle on the gear piece and seemed to be a smoother spring back. Now mine is good to go!!
For anyone that is having trouble with the trunk not latching, I had the same problem and fixed it.
When you are connecting the cog and lever, do not match up the teeth on the ends, leave one tooth of the lever off to the left, so the second to left tooth on the lever is on the outside most right tooth on the cog. To check if that worked,
Put the box with cog and motor with the latch and just screw the two together. Use a screwdriver and push down on the actually latch that would lock your trunk in place. If it snaps all the way down without a mushy feeling, and you cannot tug the latch unlocked - winner winner chicken dinner.
Yep it worked! Winner winner chicken dinner❣️I got that 🤣
@@marthawest6180 Haha there you go! I'm glad I could help someone!
My fucking hero
I struggled a few hours and figured this out eventually.. How did i not see this comment 😅
Brilliant champ. Fixed mine also. Greetings from Adelaide Australia 🇦🇺
The dealer wanted to charge me $540 to replace the actuator! It cost me $0, thanks to this video. I would caution anyone doing this repair, however, to make sure that when the latch is reassembled to make sure the white plastic lever returns by itself all the way, meaning the spring is able to turn the gear back to the home position. I'm not 100% certain the way the gear, lever, and spring are reassembled in the video is totally correct. I tried to do it as in the video the first time, and the white lever was not returning properly under spring power, so the trunk was not latching. After taking it apart and moving the tooth position over by one, the lever returned by itself and the trunk latched just fine when reinstalled.
Thank you so much for you great video from france. Have a very nice day and thanks again ;-)
This video was a great help, thanks
yep, that was my issue too. I was pretty sure everything was fine with motor and electric matters since I was able to hear the "click" when pressing the trunk button. I knew something was stuck or broken, and finally found that litter black plastic thing broken. It just saved me time and money. In the other hand, it will be much reliable with a screw on it. thanks!!!
Thanks that trick making a new bump stop worked great!
Can we have the How to remove Truck Lock part and thanks for the video this is what I need I'm sure of it :)
Perfect solution, thanks for uploading this content.
Thank you so much you saved me $300
I did everything and when I put it back together the latch doesn't lock
Same here, how did you solve this issue?
I did everything and my hatchback just bounces and doesn't lock into place once it's closed. Is there something I missed?
I have the same problem
Thanks for posting this. I found my hatch not opening after trying to close the hatch on a trunk that was too full. I’m a mom and a RN and know nothing about cars, besides basic mechanics and was able to use your video to get my hatch release working again properly.
However I noticed the inside white lever and gear on mine aligned a bit differently than yours. It took me two times of taking apart and putting back together to get it to work. I’m not sure what I did differently the second time, but when I replaced the mechanism the second time and pushed the hatch release button it “sounded” more engaged (louder) than it did when it wasn’t working. Wish I knew what I did differently, but either way I’m stoked it worked! Thanks again!
Aly Kat you’re very welcome!
Thank you the exact same thing was wrong with my 2013 elantra GT!
Thanks a lot man
Thanks buddy. Thx for saving me $40
Great video, wish I seen it years ago! I just want to mention the spring tension if it's not done right it won't latch down or stay latched down.
Thats hapen to my VT..how did you do
@@victorsantiago5891 trial and error. Try preload one way and if doesn't work good 1 notch at a time till it works
thank you
Thank you great video, I did replace new buttons and fix what you said in the video was exactly the same I saw the broken small piece I fix it with small secrw but still not working ?! I hear the noise for motor but not open at all
ADVICE/TIP.. I took this part off and opened as per the video and indeed the same piece was broken. I fixed it and put it back but turns out that besides this fixed part, the mechanical component (the other piece that was put away at the beginning) was also damaged. It wouldn’t physically latch to the bottom “C hook”.. I’d recommend to try the mechanical side manually and make sure it locks into place in the “C hook” and that it releases. If that’s good. Then proceed to fix this with the screw as a stopper.
genius .. thanks
i did this and repaired the broken bump stop and realigned the gears with one another but now my rear won’t close. When sticking the part that we repaired back into the metal thing with the lever that we had to pry, i noticed that the manual lever we had to pull on in order to slip it in, was only passing OVER the plastic white piece. Is this the problem? my rear will now not close. the spring and gear assembly is all good and prior to the repair, the only thing it was good at doing was staying closed. Now, i can’t get it to close. Any suggestions? Pls
The same exact thing happened to me. I just gave up and ordered a new lock on ebay for like 25 bucks
Mine is broke again -🙁I just performed this when I worked the magic on my latch as you suggested, now first freeze 1 year later; it Did it again 🙁😢
So now I have to work magic -again 😱😔 you know wait, now I see this again I will take it out and magic again!! 👍🏻✨
Could you also make a video on how to replace the rear nozzle sprayer? Since I assume that I have to remove the compartment in which the rear center break light is located and I don’t want to break anything
Awesome thank you! One question how do I know this is my problem? I notice that my latch makes the sound click as if it’s working but it doesn’t open, does that mean I have that issue?
ur awesome
Thank you for making this video. I tried that and my trunk will still not open. I already replace the switch, do you think I have to replace the latch. I hear the mechanism making a sound but the trunk still does not open.
Per, my previous comment, below, how can I tell if the problem is indeed the latch assembly - or the button?? Thanks.
Josh: Have tried your latch fix several times now without success. How can I tell if it is indeed the latch and not the button?
2013 Veloster. Also, I notice that the motor gear in the latch sits next to the plastic one. Is this perhaps preventing the oper ation from working? Thanks in advance.
Man I got so mad at my car today. With this I'll fix it tomorrow
Does this fix the actuator part of the latch. My trunk will only open from the inside and the actuator is slowly draining my battery. Have to unplug it in order to stop the draining.
Wahoo❣️❣️💖❣️❣️✨✨✨✨👌😁
Wish you would have had more lighting too see EXACTLY how the spring sits in there. Really getting on my nerves at the moment
7:48 - May be the issue if your trunk doesnt lock after doing this..Leave one tooth on the left of the L piece..i.e. align the 2nd last tooth of the L with the last tooth of the gear..
The lock may not engage if the L piece doesnt move far enough to the right 👍 Worked on my 2013
I tried this but didn’t work. I don’t know if I got the spring placement wrong but it doesn’t seem to lock again.
This was not the issue on my wife's MY16. They have reinforced that part. It seems like taking it a part and reassembling it fixed my issue, but now I'm having problems with the striker.
This worked and I can now open my trunk after three tries. Had to play with the cog position. Problem is now it takes 4-5 presses of the trunk button to open the trunk. Any idea why?
Josh, is the hatch opener the SAME as this one a 2013 Elantra GT!?! It just failed today after I got it back from Valet parking!! I did NOT notice it till I got home that it was NOT opening. It just make the sound when I push the latch button, but won't open. I tried to use the slit from inside to get it to open, but it wont hit anything. Thanks
David Mortaz I have no clue.. but I would suspect it is. Do it click at all?
We just bought out daughter a 2012 Hyundai Veloster and today she went to open the trunk and the smart lock just moves around and isn’t attached. Wondering if there is a another way to get the trunk open that way we can get to the mechanism. We have looked all over the car for a trunk latch but we have no idea how to get the trunk open
Hi Alisha! So grab a key or small flat head screw driver. Lower the back seats from inside car. On the back panel on the trunk lid you will see a horizontal slot.. place the key/screw driver in and move left to right as there is a release lever in there. It’s a safety release that they have in all cars Incase one is trapped in the trunk.
Helpful. However this didn't fix my issue. I noticed when I took it apart, while the black plastic stopper was broken off. There was another white rubber like piece which was broken as well in two pieces. Not sure where it fit. Opening the unit and applying this fix did allow me to position the wheel so the trunk would close/open a couple times. However it seems the other piece which also broke was responsible in helping with the snap back motion. As after a few tries it was no longer opening again (or wouldn't shut). I ended up just buying a new part for $60 and keeping the trim off until it arrives. I am confident however, that if it was ONLY the black stopper which broke, this would have solved the issue without a doubt.
Fixed it, but the trunk open dash light won’t go off any suggestions?
So how do you get the latch out??
What happens if I put it all back and now my trunk won’t close completely/lock at all
Mine stopped working but how do I know if it is broken or it is just the button that is not working?
I checked and its fine,it doesn't lock.what can be the move
🤘🏼👍🏼
I used this video and followed the instructions. I could see where the bump stop had broken off, so drilled a hole and put a screw in it. Put everything back together and looked like it would work fine. Problem now is that when you close the trunk, it will not latch at all. You can close it hard or soft, makes no difference. it looks like the little hook doesn't come down and wrap around the metal bar. I've taken it completely apart and put it back together, but makes no difference. If you take a screw driver and press against the part that hits the metal bar, the hook comes down, so I would think it would be coming down and catching under the bar, but doesn't work. Any ideas? Am I going to have to replace the entire assembly? Thanks for any assistance.
Jon Lackmon you could either have the gear it there wrong or the plastic lever positioned incorrectly
Thanks for the very fast reply (wasn't expecting that). I will go ahead and take it apart again and take a look. I did the entire process at my desk while pausing/restarting your video...but then again, I'm not a mechanic. Going to take it back apart now. Thanks again.
I feel sure the gear and plastic lever are positioned right. What doesn't seem right is when I'm putting the assembly back into the cartridge. In the video you say that it doesn't go back in at all, so you say we need to pull the metal lever forward and then slide it in. My problem is that it slides in fine without pulling the metal lever forward. When I pull the metal lever forward and slide it in it won't slide in. I notice that when you pull the metal lever forward, it pushes another metal lever up. Is that internal metal lever supposed to fit into the recess of the plastic handle? I thought it might, but it doesn't seem to. The cartridge seems to work OK...in that if I push on the piece that latches, the hook comes down and locks in place. Then when I pull the metal lever forward, it causes the hook to release. That part makes sense. What doesn't seem to make sense for me is how the internal lever interacts with the plastic lever.
Jon Lackmon have you solved this issue Jon? I’m having the exact same problem!!
@@GB-mh2rf HAving the same issue where the trunk will not close properly, did you ever figure it out?
Dang can’t see in a black hole 🤭☹️ I could hear you and see the white gear and arm, when I push the button just below my backup eye, it makes the noise that tells me that part of the switch is operating, your video makes me think that is the actual problem that my girls having. So the gear is just skipping every time I push the button correct?
Mine doesn’t close now 🙃
Please show me how to remove the latch, I'm seeing flames.
Nvm, waited for a response till I just did it. Took me two hours dou.
Shit won’t even latch now after doing this, trunk just bounces. U got a fix to this bro??????? Seen several others having the same issue 2 yrs ago and you haven’t helped SHIT.
Did u resolve this
@@mqs0557 it closes I had to buy a new latch but it still doesn’t open from the outside lol. Gotta open it from the inside whenever I need my trunk
AC fuse
You can buy a new latch for 12$ takes 5min. Too replace. That's way to much trouble.
Where??
Didn’t help at all. I really thought this would fix it but still nope. Off to Hyundai we go for a 500$ labor bill for a 30 minute job.
My trunk broke first time I opened it
