Trunk latch bounces open
Hey guys,
My 2001 Honda Civic EX trunk latch will not stay latched, I have tried adjusting the striker plate up, down, left and right. I cannot get the latch to lock onto the striker bar. The latch can be pushed into closed position with a screwdriver, but when closing the trunk (normally) the latch wont completely click onto the striker bar. Is the latch no good? I also screwed the rubber bumpers that prevent rumbling all the way in. And lastly I sprayed the hell out of the latch with WD40. Still no luck..
Thanks in advance
