Best Answer

I had a problem of the trunk not staying close when shut. it was because for some reason the bracket on the bottom side was not seated properly although there were no visible dents or bending. At first i replaced the opening mechanism with one from a junk yard, and that did not work. In the end all that was needed was to change the angle of the bracket on the bottom, to do this.

Loosen the to hex bolts on the bracket

On the bottom side of the bracket put something ~1/8" thick between the bracket and the body of the car ( I used a thick zip tie because it is easy to slide in).

re-tighten bolts.

If it still does not close try using something thicker.

It is manual, there is no trunk button whatsoever on the inside of the car, you need the key to get in. The lock on ours was broken, so we had to drill through the destroyed lock to open it :D
