Hi all,

A while back, Uro Parts contacted me and offered to send me one of their new trunk lock repair kits in exchange for reviewing it here. I did get the part for free but have no other affiliation. My own experience with them has been mixed, some junky bits but also some good ones like upper strut mount assembly for Jaguar. Anyway, I told them I will be honest in my evaluation and so I shall.

Arrived today so figure the unboxing (unbagging) will be part 1. Part 2 will be install but I can answer any questions in between. Photos are provided.

You get three parts (outer housing, inner lock barrel, and rubber seal). The chrome finish seems pretty good. Not sure what they are made of. Weight is light and a magnet does not stick. The included instructions seem well written and detailed.

Hope to install over the weekend.
