Internal Trunk Lid Release Handle Installation Note

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Mazda Protege5 and 2003 Mazda Protege. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
  • Always keep the handle firmly attached to the holder and in the recessed position. Not securing the handle this way could allow it to snag luggage in the compartment and open the trunk lid.
  1. After installation of the internal trunk lid release handle, pull the handle forward to verify the handle and rod are securely installed.
  2. Attach the handle to the holder and in the recessed position.
