The Dicky Latch (also known as Trunk Lock Latch) is a key component of a vehicle’s boot/trunk locking system.
🔧 Description:
It is a mechanical or electro-mechanical latch that secures the car’s trunk/boot.
Typically made of high-strength metal to withstand repeated use and vibrations.
Works with the trunk lock mechanism and release handle/button to open and close the boot securely.
✅ Functions:
Keeps the trunk/boot securely closed while driving.
Prevents unauthorized access to the trunk.
Ensures smooth opening and closing of the trunk.
Works safely with central locking systems in modern vehicles.
⚠️ Symptoms of a Faulty Dicky Latch:

Difficulty opening or closing the trunk.
Clicking or unusual noises when operating the latch.
Malfunctioning trunk release button or central lock.
🚗 Importance:
A good-quality dicky latch ensures trunk security, safety, and convenience. A worn or broken latch can lead to trunk misalignment, damage, or security issues.
