I have the opposite problem since the accident. It will stay in pretty much any position. I would check and see if those metal cross bars fell out of their plastic holder in the middle. There's a way to adjust it too but I don't know.
check ur springs and make sure they didn't pop out...do you have a spoiler? when i purchased my spoiler from honda, it came with stiffer springs...because the stock springs can't handle the added weight

I had this whole bit prepared for you because I felt bad......links for help and everything and then I re-read the title and realized it was your TRUNK that wouldn't stay up....
get better springs..I dunno.
