Trunk door hinge like x-bar was broken, what if i

This is rather hard to describe in words with out a picture. But here goes...

With the trunk lid propt safely open and the hinges in place, place one torsion bar in position so the end with the "U" end is by the hinge. The hinge has a link on it with a hook. The hook connects to the "U". Once connected, do the other hinge/bar. Last step is to place tension on the bars by postitioning the "L" end in one of the slots. You may need to do a trial-by-error in the different slots to acheive correct tension to keep the lid in the open position

Access the trunk from inside the car by putting the back seat down if it goes down or remove it. There's a emergency release inside the trunk

Mark the old hinge with a scribe unbolt the hinge and fit new one,line up with marks and tighten bolts

You will need to have another hinge welded on.

chances are the spring that opens the flap is weak,just replace the spring.if it gets stuck shut pull away the carpet/trim from inside the trunk to get to the flap wire.

this always happens to my 06 passat when its really cold, im talking 0 or lower. i try not to open the trunk in the winter if i can help it. Its annoying but in the summer i have no problems. I have herd of alot of other people having this problem, VW knows about it and dosnt think its a recall item for somereason, look for your fancy gas door to not open next, i know of 3 people that started having trunk problems and then the fuel door stopped working, not sure if it has anything to do with it or not. but It happend to me and now i have the auto fuel door disconnected from the inside of the trunk.
The trunk issue isnt anything big to worry about it seems intermittent. I found latches and there a little pricey thats why i just deal with it.

It is hard to repair. I assume that the base of hinge became unattached from either the chassis (hat shelf), or the trunk lid.In either case, welding is required. Furthermore, if your car is equipped with torque bars to keep lid open, instead of hydraulic bars, those are hard and dangerous to install.

usually u can put the spring bar bak in place on the clip by using a screw driver or a pry bar

Do you have a trunk ajar warning? Not sure what you are asking exactly, a little more info please.

all you have to do is inspect the old trunk door how it is attached to the hinges.

be careful on the tension bars that are lifting the trunk. once you released them, the trunk would just fall down.

there are two of these tension bars, they are like springs to help you lift the trunk and they are very tricky to remove and install
after you have done that then it just a matter of removing 2 bolts on each side of the hinge and remove the trunk.

if you have electrical accessories attached to the trunk such as solenoids or trunk cables, remove them first.

then do the reverse on installation.

you may want somebody helping you hold to the trunk before you remove the bolts. they are heavy.

tnx 4 using fixya,
