Maintenance/Repairs

Hello,

We recently had a small accident with our Yaris iA 2018. Someone bumped into the back of the car while going very slow. While it didn’t do any major cosmetic damage, it dislodged something on our trunk latch. The latch doesn’t close anymore, though the mechanism is not completely broken. I am attaching a short video here that shows the situation in more detail with explanations.

We took it to the Toyota dealer and they told us it they would need to look into it but that it could be anywhere from $3-$6k to repair. We have not gotten a second opinion yet but I was wondering if anyone had any straight forward advice about how to fix it without going anywhere near that price tag. Any advice on next steps or things to keep in mind would be helpful.

Sincerely,
Joseph
