When I drive over a rough road, the rear trunk unlatches !
I close it and it seems secure; I can't force it open, can't jiggle it open; it just stays latched until I go over a bump. I cannot see any adjustment - I know this is not supposed to happen. I feel kinda stupid about this but I am out of ideas. Is there a solution? Any and all suggestions / remedies are appreciated. Thanks |

You CAN ADJUST the rod up or down by taking it off and loosening the top nut. In most cases the rod simply has to be lengthened.
