When trunks get older, sometimes the latches get stuck. To fix them a person needs to add oil to the latch to loosen up the parts of the lock and turn the key hard.

The trunk on your 2005 sunfire will not latch How can it be fix?
It sounds like a problem with the remote, if you have one, stuck in the "open" position. Otherwise use an oil penetrant and work the latch manually until it returns to its normal position. Note: it could be stuck in the closed or shut position too, but less likely. Then you would need to try and get the latch itself open, even though the trunk lid is already open.

How do you open the trunk door of a 01 crv i think the door latch is broken?
hmmmm....can you open it from inside? My rear door latch gets stuck in the open position at least once a month on my '01 CRV. I've found that the hinge and spring get rusted up on the latch. I spray a rust inhibiter/lubricant (PB Blaster) on either side of the latch and then work it until it moves freely. This is a poor design for something that is exposed to the weather.
Your trunk latch is stuck and you dont have an automatic trunk popper any suggestions on how to open it?
This happened to me . The net in the trunk was caught in the latch. I pried the boot gently with a large screwdriver while pulling the handle to open it after pressing the inside release. Then we took out the so it won't happen again. You can't take down the rear seat back because the release is in the trunk.
