Montero Sport 2003. The little pin that goes on the latch broke last night. They sell the latch on Ebay for $14.00. How do you replace the latch? From the trunk taking
the panel off or you have to take the wheel well?
Thanks!

Looks like all the disassembly is done inside the vehicle:  |

Thanks for the reply 2003LimitedAWD! I went to a
junkyard today and look at how it comes out. Side trim,
side panel, trunk floor(boxes) and I think the second row
seat back support have some bolts that have to be
remove as well. I ended up taking it out with a screw
driver through the fuel filler. The latch has two kind of
clips that don’t flex at all. Just pried it out and came in
one piece. I will try that on my truck and replace it.
Hopefully it will fit snug. If anything the metal sheet
must gave up a little but it did not seem that way.
