2017-2025 Maserati Levante Cargo Rail Trim Panel Guide
A complete guide to identifying, inspecting, and replacing the trunk cargo rail trim panels in your 2017-2025 Levante, focusing on common damage and sourcing used parts.
- The most critical inspection point when buying a used panel is the back side; ensure all plastic mounting clips and tabs are intact.
- Failure is purely cosmetic or results in rattles; a damaged panel does not affect the vehicle's safety or drivability.
- Replacement is a very simple DIY task that requires only a plastic trim tool and takes less than 30 minutes.
- Used OEM parts are the most cost-effective solution, as aftermarket versions are not available and new OEM parts are costly.
Symptoms of a Failing Trunk Trim Panel
Since this is a cosmetic trim part, failure is always visual or audible. You will not see any warning lights or receive any diagnostic trouble codes. The main issues are related to physical damage from use or improper removal.
- Visible Cracks and Scratches: The most common symptom is cosmetic damage. Loading and unloading heavy or sharp-edged items like luggage, golf clubs, or strollers can easily scratch, scuff, or crack the plastic surface.
- Loose Fit or Rattling Noises: The panels are held in place by a series of plastic clips and tabs on the back. Over time, these clips can become brittle and break, especially if the panel has been removed previously. When clips break, the panel will feel loose and may rattle or vibrate, which can be audible inside the cabin on rough roads. 🎬 See this quick guide to stop rear hatch rattles
- Panel Detachment: In severe cases where multiple mounting clips have failed, the panel may detach completely from the side of the trunk, exposing the metal cargo rail underneath.
Known Issues, TSBs, and Recalls
As of mid-2026, there are no specific recalls or Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) from Maserati or the NHTSA that directly address the failure of these specific cargo rail trim panels. Issues like rattling or broken trim are typically handled as standard repairs. While Maserati has issued recalls for the Levante for issues like software glitches and potential engine stalling at low speeds, none pertain to interior cosmetic trim.
Pro Tip: Rattles from the rear of a Levante can have multiple sources. Before assuming it's a trim panel, check for loose items in the under-floor storage compartment, the spare tire area, or the rear seat latches. Some owners have also reported rattling from the exhaust system, which a TSB was issued for.

For a part like this, a used OEM panel is an excellent choice. Aftermarket companies rarely produce vehicle-specific interior trim, and a new OEM part from a dealer can be surprisingly expensive. A used panel from a reputable recycler offers the exact same fit, color, and finish as a new one at a fraction of the price.
Inspection Checklist:
- Inspect the Back Side First: This is the most critical step. Ask the seller for clear, well-lit photos of the back of the panel. Carefully check that every single mounting tab and clip location is intact. A panel with even one broken clip may not sit flush and could cause future rattles.
- Check for Surface Damage: Examine the front (visible) side for deep gouges, cracks, or significant discoloration. Minor scuffs are common and may be acceptable depending on your standards, but deep scratches cannot be easily repaired.
- Verify the Part Number: If possible, match the part number to your original panel or the known compatible numbers. This ensures you are getting the correct piece for your vehicle's model year.
- Confirm the Side: These panels are side-specific (left and right). Ensure you are purchasing the correct side for your needs. Part number 670061191, for example, is listed as the Left Hand (LH) Load Bed Support.

| Shop Labor | $50 - $100 | Replacement is very simple and should take a professional less than 30 minutes. |
Replacement Overview
Replacing the cargo rail trim panel is a straightforward DIY job that requires minimal tools.
- Difficulty: 1 out of 5
- Estimated Time: 15-20 minutes
- Tools Needed: Plastic trim removal tool
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Empty the Trunk: Remove the trunk floor panel to get better access to the side trim.
- Pry Off the Old Panel: Using a plastic trim removal tool, carefully insert it between the panel and the main trunk liner. Gently pry outwards to release the clips. Work your way along the length of the panel until all clips are disengaged.
- Position the New Panel: Align the clips on the back of the new panel with the corresponding holes in the trunk structure.
- Snap into Place: Once aligned, give the panel a firm push with the palm of your hand directly over the clip locations. You should hear an audible click as each clip engages.
- Final Check: Run your hand along the panel to ensure it is secure and flush with the surrounding trim. Reinstall the trunk floor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to replace these panels as a pair?
No, you can replace them individually. They are sold as separate left and right-hand parts. However, if one is damaged from general wear and tear, the other may be in similar condition, so you might choose to replace both for a uniform appearance.
Can I repair a broken mounting tab on my old panel?
While you can attempt to repair a broken plastic tab with strong epoxy or a plastic welding kit, it is often not a permanent solution. The stress of removal and reinstallation, along with vehicle vibrations, can cause the repair to fail. Replacement is the most reliable option.
Will a panel from a 2018 Levante fit my 2024 model?
Yes, the body shell and interior mounting points for the trunk area of the Maserati Levante have not changed significantly between 2017 and 2025, so parts are interchangeable across these model years.
Is this the same as the trunk sill plate?
No. This panel runs along the side of the cargo floor. The trunk sill plate is the trim piece that covers the latch area at the rearmost edge of the trunk opening.
