Yinlowa Trunk Button 81260-2V010 for 2012–2017 Hyundai Veloster — Direct-Fit Rear Hatch Release for Factory Rearview-Camera Models

The Yinlowa Trunk Button 81260-2V010 is a direct-fit exterior hatch release switch designed to restore manual trunk opening for 2012–2017 Hyundai Veloster models with the factory rearview-camera hatch.

If your Veloster’s exterior trunk button is cracked, sticky, melted, or intermittent, this replacement assembly provides the correct plug-and-mount layout to return the outside release to working order. It matches the factory mounting pattern and electrical connector used on Veloster Base and Turbo models equipped with a 1.6L gasoline engine and original rearview-camera hatch configuration. VIN verification and a visual match of connector and housing are advised before purchase.

How does this part match my Veloster’s original equipment?

This Yinlowa unit replaces OE number 81260-2V010 (also listed as 812602V010) and is built to align with the original tailgate garnish mounting and electrical interface. It is not a generic button; it’s a vehicle-specific outside handle lock assembly for the rear hatch.

• Direct-replacement plug and mounting layout for the original position
• Designed for Veloster Base and Turbo 1.6L gas models with factory rear camera
• Matches housing shape and connector location for straightforward swap
• VIN check recommended; 81260-2V000 is a different, incompatible configuration

Will installing this fix an unresponsive hatch?

Replacing a damaged or worn exterior release pad often restores normal trunk access when the problem is isolated to the switch assembly. If the hatch remains inoperable after swapping the button, further diagnostic steps are required to find issues with fuses, wiring, latch actuator, or latch alignment.

• Pressing the exterior pad sends the release signal to the existing rear latch
• Inspect fuse and wiring if the replacement does not resolve the issue
• Check actuator and latch alignment as other potential causes
• Professional diagnosis recommended when electrical faults are suspected

What should I know about fitment and installation?

The part is made to fit into the original tailgate garnish without cutting or splicing when matched to the correct vehicle configuration. Hardware and camera components from your original assembly can often be reused, and professional installation is recommended to ensure proper alignment and electrical connections.

• Replaces the exterior hatch release switch/outside handle lock assembly only
• Reuse original fasteners and camera parts when required by your vehicle
• No cutting or splicing when the connector and mount match your original unit
• Professional install reduces risk of alignment or electrical issues

What does the package include and what warranty is offered?

Each package contains one rear hatch release switch/outside handle lock assembly ready for installation. Yinlowa backs this part with a one-year warranty covering fitment and functional defects; verify the replacement visually against your original before installing.

• Contents: one rear hatch release switch/outside handle assembly
• Confirm connector, mounting points, and housing shape before install
• Covered by a 1-year warranty—contact Yinlowa with order details if issues arise
• Do not order by appearance alone; OE number verification recommended

Who is this for: This replacement is intended for owners and technicians working on 2012–2017 Hyundai Veloster Base and Turbo vehicles with a 1.6L gasoline engine and factory rearview-camera hatch who need an exact-fit exterior trunk release button. It’s suitable for DIY mechanics comfortable with exterior trim removal and electrical connector swaps, and for professional installers seeking a factory-configuration replacement part. Always confirm your original part’s connector, mounting, and OE number (81260-2V010 / 812602V010) before ordering to ensure compatibility.
