Boot latch rubber cover

The protective rubber that covers the boot latch handle committed suicide. It deteriorated from the Florida heat. Is that a hassle to replace or let the dealer take care of it. Thank you. Frank

I think the only way is to replace the trunk handle assembly. It's just a few Tork screws and a plug.

My plan for now...use a piece of inter tube or durable vinyl to replace rubber cover. Use windshield sealant (that I hate to work with) or aggressive silicon for adhesion.
