Default trunk won't close

Went to close trunl then realized that the trunk wasn't close all the way so I pulled on the trunk and I wasn't touching the trunks latch but upon pulling on the trunk it opened I did this 23 times before giving up what could be the problem

You're going to have to do some looking on your own and see where something is in the way preventing the trunk from closing properly. We can't help you without visuals (it's going to be much easier for you to look yourself...)

Don't get the idea that I'm complaining, but it would be helpful if you used a few commas and periods in your questions. It makes it a little easier to read. I'm not sure when you say "wasn't touching the trunks latch" if you are meaning

1) when the trunk lid is closed and pressed up all around the rubber seal that the latch does not touch the loop, in which case I'd be examining the latching mechanism to see if it has shifted inside the trunk lid or the loop on the lower lip of the trunk sill to see if it's shifted.

or

2) The trunk lid does notclose all the way down to the rubber seal and there is a gap where one could get one's fingers underneath or be able to see into the trunk from the sides. If so, could you have a look under the rear shelf to see if anything is obstructing the pivoting arms of the trunk lid?

Post back and let us know
