Just a FYI. Open trunk and look at the bottom of the open trunk lid to the left and right of the lock. Those two rubber bumpers will keep it from latching easily unless you slam it shut. Remove those and it will not be a problem any further. I got tired of driving around with the lid closed but not latched from not slamming it. Removed those rubber bumpers and no more issue. Got the fix from here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=96495
Just keep the grommets for later(throw them in the spare tire area) when the trunk gasket compresses some and actually needs those bumpers.
