Re: Trunk closure
Sounds like the plastic guides or gear are going bad. Mine went bad years ago. Had to relocate the latch motor to fully close the trunk.

Re: Trunk closure
I would contact Top Down Solutions, always a great resource in the past for me. Lon is a great guy too. Give that a shot

Re: Trunk closure
Is there any height adjustment available via the motor mounting screws? Sometimes the motor mechanism will shift slightly over the years of used, just like a hood latch.

Re: Trunk closure
Definitely sounds like those fiberglass guides are shot, give them a call. They have them!
