The trunk latch for my car listed above wasn't shutting easily. I had to slam it down for it to latch. So, I bought a new latch on Amazon.
(https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083SJ859T) to replace it.
It was a fairly easy replacement, but when I went to shut the trunk, it didn't latch at all, not even when I slam it. I tried opening it with the emergency open, with the trunk lever by the driver, and with the key fob. And I made sure the latch would close by using a screwdriver. I'm not really sure what to do. Now I'm thinking it wasn't the latch after all. I wonder if the metal loop/hook that it latches onto is out of place somehow.
