Trunk Problems

chi · December 23rd, 2011, 10:41 PM

Hey for any of you guys who was at the eastside meet a while ago. When we were checking out my subwoofer the trunk wouldn't close. How did we solve that? It' happened again, tried for 20 mins to get it work but no joy. Any suggestions? What did we do last time?

Fixed it... took more pressure to close... have to hold it shut and press on it hard..

It shouldn't be doing that. I'd dig deeper.

Maybe something is interfering with the springs? They are pretty close to where the stock sub mounts.

It actually has a tight fit when it closes, just the latch doesn't always catch to "locK" the trunk in place when I shut it. I have to close the trunk then press down a couple of times for it to take. I think it's the latch... thoughts?

Adjust it. Simple fix.
