Has anyone come up with a fix for these? It appears mine sheared off where the "c" shaped plastic leg from the trunk lid to the surface comes together. I probably closed the trunk and something was too close to the rear and hit it.

I was thinking of making a bracket out of aluminum with a couple of bolts and nuts to attach the broken parts together. I'd toss the thing out entirely, but then I'd have to cobble together some other holder for the trunk light and the latch mechanism would then be totally exposed to anything sliding around in the trunk.

It's a pretty lightweight [one might even say cheaply made] part I think, and a friend took one look and said "what do you expect? It's a ford." That was a tough one to answer.

Well figuring that the plastic is probably thicker then the plastic the entire Toyota FJ Looser is made out of, I wouldn't say its that cheap. Just get a new part, how much is one??

 

Epoxy....I fixed mine with it.

 

Mine broke as well - use epoxy - super glue will not work on this.

 

Took it back to my dealer, they replaced it under warranty, no problem!
