Trunk won't close - now it won't open

Well, mine was in storage in my garage for 5 months. I took it out last weekend, and basically gave it a good cleaning. Went to close the trunk and it would not close?????? I gently pushed the trunk lid down (holding it down), and clicked the remote and it closed..........

Well, now it will NOT open at all, and my gauges indicate the trunk is open....... GGGrrrrrrr...........

Car is going to Dealer Monday for some other small issues (burned out LED's), so hopefully they will resolve this issue.

Trunk won't close or release

Have dealer adjust it. They're snug. If the bump stops are a little too tight it will happen. Mine did that took to the stealership and they fixed it. Hasn't done it since.

Push trunk lid down down and re hit the button. It should open. Mine does this occasionally. I always get it open.

Thanks. I am hoping it is a simple fix. It's headed to the Dealer Monday for a few other things, so will have them look at it then. Thanks!

I was going to, but I had just loaded my Borla exhaust in the back seat - to be installed Monday morning......... To lazy to take it back out and re-load it again... ....... The Dealer can "go for it" after the exhaust is installed. And replace my burned out drivers side LED driving lights........And replace my center hood stripe.....

The emergency pull handle can get caught on something and this will prevent the trunk from opening. Is it possible the borla box or something is interfering with the handle?

The Borla exhaust has been removed from the box, and is in pieces, sitting on a blanket in the back seat.

Also, not sure if the back seat will fold down, as it is a convertible........

Just hope nothing is too screwed up, and it is a simple fix for my Dealer......

Well, took my car to the Dealer yesterday for several issues.........

I am a real dumb a$$ After I installed my new third brake light, I replaced the trunk "liner" with the 7 plastic push pins. Apparently, the ONE push pin caught the "trunk release" wire, and was preventing the trunk from closing......... How embarrassing....... They didn't charge me, but did have a good "chuckle" over it.......

While it was there, I had my Borla exhaust installed, black bow ties, and the Drivers side front LED was burned out, and was replaced.......It was then sent to the Body Shop to have the center stripe replaced due to 2 "flaws". Unfortunately, the new stripe did not match in color, and another one was ordered this afternoon.....

So, the trunk was 100% my error, and was a simple 2-minute "fix".......
