THANK YOU!! Can't wait to get the part so I can fix it. As a single woman, videos like yours are so appreciated. Clear and concise description and good video angles. Now to replace my sun visors and clean up my headlights ( Cerakote was recommended). Thanks again New Hampshire
I do not have a video on how to replace JUST the chrome trim. I believe it should just pry off, if it is already broken you don't have to worry about breaking it. Look at the back of the new piece, there should be a bunch of push tabs that press in, I don't believe that there are any screws. Hope this helps you out.
@HomeownerRepair if the tailgate is closed, you can open it from inside. The release latch is covered however by a little plastic cover in the middle. Pop out the small plastic pannel and you will see the release, stick your finger in, and move it to the right. It will pop open.
You may have to try to remove the inner trim panel with the tailgate closed to access the factory harness that the trunk release button plugs into. Unless there is another truck release button inside the vehicle that is working.
Thank you. That was wicked helpful. Nissan dealership quoted me $417 because they said they would have to replace the whole back panel. 😂
lol.. See how much money we saved you. Sub the channel for more savings! Have a great day!

Is there a video to replace the whole chrome piece? We have a friend whose chrome piece broke off and she ordered a whole new piece.

Do you know if this is the same process for the 2018 Pathfinder? & Thanks the the easy to follow instructions!
It should be the same process.
Thanks Neighbor but the problem I have is that it won’t open so how do I open it of fix it???
If there is not manual truck release you might have to remove the trim panel with the tailgate shut. I know easier said then done.

Does the long section of the switch have any use or only the button?
on this car just the button.
Just ordered parts to fix mine. What do you do if the back won’t open though?

The button housing and also the plastic trim surround broke on mine.
Yes, it is very brittle. You can find a replacement on Amazon. I have seen them out there for sale. Hope this helps you out.
