Well if I want to be able to open the trunk again, no choice.
The plastic part was easy enough to find 06YarisRS ?

Hi ptitpiffute.

The hatch cover is quite easy to take off. All but one of my clips/pins remained in the liftgate steel. I had to remove them without breaking them - which was the hardest part - and then re-insert them into the plastic cover, then the liftgate plastic panel popped right back on.

I got lucky and found the little plastic tab in the bottom of my liftgate. It's definitely worth trying to fix it. If it fails, you can pick up a used, yet functional, lock assembly on eBay, though it would be keyed differently. I saw one for ~ $49.00 a while back. That said, many people have managed to clean theirs and get them working again. I guess they tend to get fouled up and require regular cleaning and lubrication.
