Trunk Latch not really working!?!?!?!
well last night i was at my girlfriends house and i had to put my jacket in my trunk and so then i close it thinking everything was fine and it closed. then my buddy tells me its open, so i think i guess i didnt close it all the way? so after trying to close it a million times nothing happens. so then me and my g/f's father ghetto rig my trunk shut. after driving around town the trunk kept bumping up and down, just a few inches. and must have somehow shut along the way, so idk whats going on now. why would the latch not be catching with the hook in the first place and now why is it working. has this happened to you guys? should i buy a whole new assembly just in case??

Something similar like that happened to me. My mechanic fixed it, and didn't charge me anything. It took him about 10 minutes. Basically, the latch and the trunk weren't attaching (and some plastic was up in it). He readjusted the latch and now it's fine.
