Hello ZL1 owners,
The trunk closing situation REALLY bothers me on my ZL1 because I daily drive it and use the trunk for my work&fitness bags or items every time. So I came up with this ultra simple solution that anyone can do that is fairly handy.
Parts needed: Nylon Strap (I bought mine here
https://www.ebay.com/itm/FIAT-500-Ab...vy-Duty-Nylon/)
Tools needed: Exacto Knife, T30 Torx, Trim removal tool
step 1) Remove the trunk liner
step 2) Use T30 Torx to remove the passenger side trunk latch fastener
step 3) Push fastener through the strap and re-install
step 4) Cut the slot just to the top right of the manual release access hole
step 5) Reinstall the liner and run the strap through the hole.
Step 6) Never scratch your paint again or put fingerprints on your trunk!
Enjoy your "Ryker" Mod & Have a nice day!
