Trunk won’t stay closed please help ASAP
I’ve searched around and can’t seem to find an answer. But I Pope’s my trunk to grab something and when I went to close it it just bounced back up and it won’t close. Any ideas

If you mean it won't close at all, then not sure. If you mean it needs to be slammed and not just "normally" shut to catch the locking mechanism then try removing the two bumpers that are on the trunk lid.
I did that and it helped a lot. I kept on not shutting it all the way and the trunk light kept on staying on and since I normally don't drive every day a couple days would pass and that light would kill the battery. Removing those bumpers and also making the light operate by a manual switch also helped in case I still don't slam it fully. I will get groceries and then see the trunk light open indicator as I go home sometimes but luckily the trunk when closed down but not locked won't pop open at all when driving.

First, I'd suggest you look down into the latch area and make sure something isn't hiding in there. Next, check the inside latch lever and make sure it has returned to the down position. Also, check the emergency inside latch pull and make sure it's not jammed. Then, I would suggest you spray the latch mechanism (upper and lower) with WD-40 or silicone spray. If that don't work, I'd suggest you adjust the latching bar. Come back. humfrz |

Though if you intended to say "popped" the trunk I would first make sure it is closing all the way. Fold the seats down and have someone else close the trunk while you watch from the inside to see if (1) the light goes off and (2) if the latch pieces engage. If yes, troubleshoot the latch. If no, find obstruction. Also, disconnect the trunk light so it doesn't kill the battery |
