How a Minor Rear-End Collision Led to Hidden Trunk Alignment Problems
A customer from Vancouver, WA brought their vehicle to Motolux Collision Center after a small rear-end accident in traffic. The impact was relatively light, and at first glance the damage appeared minor. The rear bumper showed some cosmetic damage, but the vehicle remained fully drivable. Initially, the customer believed the repair would be simple. However, a few days later, they noticed that the trunk didn’t close the same way it had before the accident. It still latched, but it required extra pressure and felt slightly uneven. Over time, the customer also began to notice moisture forming inside the trunk area after rainy weather.
Key Outcomes:
- Trunk closes smoothly and latches effortlessly
- Weather seals restored to prevent moisture entry
- Trunk interior protected from future water damage
