trunk lid not closing
Hey wise people,
I've a question for you -- once upon a time, the trunk was opened using the button in the cockpit. Ever since then, it doesn't close. I've been driving around with the trunk bungee'd shut for a year now after exhausting mine and my friends' efforts in figuring out what the heck is going on.
Here's the facts:
[ul][*]The latch will work when triggered with an object such as a screwdriver[*]The key will open a locked latch[*]The latch does not come into contact with the catch on the body of the car[*]There appears to be no structural damage to the body of the car (i.e. the latch hasn't up and shifted 1/4" down, or anything like that)[/ul]Thoughts? Any insight you could give would be greatly appreciated. Our financial resources aren't the greatest, so any DIY repairs or tweaks are highly valued. :-)
Thanks
