Hi all. I tried popping my trunk this evening after getting back from the store and the trunk latch was stuck and would only open slightly, only reason it seems it opened the amount it did was because the bolts holding the latch to the trunk apparently came out. I have an aftermarket vis cf trunk on the car but the locking mechanism is stock.

I had to forcibly pull upward on the trunk to get it to open. The valet button was not pushed, the emergency latch did not work. I could hear the trunk lock try to cycle for the mechanism to work but I didn’t see any actual movement. I tried to take the latch apart to see if I could see an issue but was unable to figure it out.

Does anyone know what the issue is? Or has any ideas on how to fix this? It would be greatly appreciated. It is my daily driver and at the least I need to figure out how to keep the trunk closed so I can drive it lol. Thank you!
