Alarm going off from trunk
Went out to my car, pressed the trunk release button on my fob.
I could hear the release "THUNK" sound
Lid did not open. This usually happens the day after I wash it. Maybe soap + water + leftover dirt kept the rubber seals sticky. Happens all the time.
Lift the trunk lid with one finger
Car alarm goes off, as if I pried it off with a crowbar
Has this ever happened to anybody else? I've had the trunk lid stick before but never had the alarm go off when I lift it open myself. I know for a fact I heard the latch release.

Sounds like the trunk release latch mechanism thingy is either dirty or jammed and isn't releasing all the way. Clean it!

I guess it is due for a cleaning, tho
