Ok, on my s14 the trunk aint closing/locking. When i close the drunk, the thing bangs and comes back up, it won't stay closed basicly. Something is f'ed up with the locking mechanism, also the interior trunk release doesn't work? but the key has worked. I noticed this started happening when i started puttin rims in my trunk, before i just flipped up a metal tab and all was good, but thats not working anymore. Wondering if anyone has had this problem and knows a quick solution.

I've seen the drunk not popping open, but haven't seen it not locking/staying down.

Tommorow ima grease up everything with some silicone and take it all apart, but if someone has a quickfix please respond!
