Replacement trunk cover hanger

[Renalan]

This part broke off this weekend, anyone have any idea how to dig up the P/N for a replacement?

OMG that would have taken a lot of force to break that. How did it get broken?

Probably the back of it. Go in a dealer an ask.

Closed it onto a cooler.

Ended up 3D printing a replacement part. The original part is secured from the rear side with a self-tapping screw.

Boy that’s 21st century thinking, very inventive & well done. Will it last & what is the quality of the medium you used?

I used ABS so probably the same material as the oem part. It'll be a little weaker, but it only gets loaded when the trunk is open so it should last

Would you be up for printing one for me or sending me the design file? One side of mine broke this weekend as well and I couldn't find the part number either!

I did the same thing today while moving some furniture with the lid removed. Heard a snap as the trunk closed, figured something on the table had broken but didn't see anything damaged. Only noticed it when I unloaded and went to put the lid back on.

I've got an appointment in two weeks to have Kia fix my rattling sunroof, so I'll probably just ask them to take care of it then.

Ugh, same happened to me, and now their is a piece rattling around in the hatch.

Fwiw, mine snapped off because a heavy microwave shifted and pinned the bottom dangly part, so when lifting the hatch, it held it *down* and top part ripped off.

If it’s really new try the dealer. Failing that order a new while your there then glue the old one until the new one comes in. Or while you are at the dealer talk them into one off a new one on the lot and they can wait for the replacement.

Forgot to provide an update on this! I was able to identify and order a replacement from kiapartsnow.com. The part number is 817321K000.

Thanks, i've got one on order, now we'll see how tricky removing the trip is

Does anyone know how to remove the trim piece in order to replace this hook? I just ordered mine as well. Somehow mine snapped off & I was lifting the trunk
