View Full Version : trunk cannot be completely closed help plz
Hi guys,
Most of time that I shut the trunk, the lock of the trunk wont lock the trunk. Very few times, trunk will be locked during my driving. A few weeks ago, I used to shut my trunk hardly in order to close my trunk completely, but it doesnt work in that way anymore. So, I have to keep my trunk unlocked and going up and down while im driving.
I checked out some other similar posts for trunks, and I assume that we have got different problems. Am I wrong?
Any suggestions?
Thank you very much guys. Have a good holiday.

I ran into a sililar problem a bunch of times...
trunk just wouldnt close...
for me it was an easy fix....
I close the trunk by putting my hand directly above the lock when I push it down to close...
for some reason it closes every time!

Are you sure its not frozen... this happened to me 2 nights ago and i just got out the blow-dryer and thoughed out all the components
Lol, I tried the blow dryer which didn't work but a quick spray of wd40 did the trick.

Hey, man. How did you spray on the latch? Did u take out every stuff and spray on them or just spray on the latch without taking the panel out? Thank you very much.
i did not take the panel out, just be careful not to get it on the carpet. good luck
Sweet. I will try that later. Thanks a lot man.

also check the rubber around the trunk. for a while i had to slam my trunk since it wouldn't close and it turned out the rubber was coming off. reattaching it fixed.
