Trunk Trouble/Anyone knows of a good shop?

[Laxa1369]

Hey everybody. I am having some issues with my trunk. It won't close. No obstructions, just something is wrong in there i am not the mechanically inclined type. I know of the Jeep Chrysler Dealer on broadway i could take it to, but are there any good local garages that anyone knows of that could help me out?
I am tired of dealing with dealers. This is why. Last summer i worked at a summer camp in the mountains and one day i get to my car and find a puddle of water in the front passenger foot area. I take it in to the Dealer, the person behind the counter says oh i know its the cooling agent or some crap she said to me. I accept and get a 500 buck bill for the work and the part, next day it rains. Same leak. I am 5'3 so i can not see the top of my jeep that well, but i drop by a friends house who literally walks up to the car and sees the problem. The seem on the windshield is parted a slight bit all the way at the top corner. Yes i should of been smarter, but damn did that piss me off. They did not even check to see if that was the real problem.

Thanks for any help i can get.

My brother owns a shop down off Broadway just south of Evens. He has been a mechanic for close to 30 years. He can fix anything and he will not jerk you around.

Uh............ did he say "trunk"??????

Mine must have been ordered with the trunk delete option - I don't have one of those.


Trunk:

Hatch:

Here is a dumb idea. I had one where the latch got closed (tripped) without the hatch being closed. I had to push the button and pry the little arm open before it would close and latch again. This has happened on regular doors as well.

Not too dumb at all, a comon problem!

Examine the business side of you latch, that is to say, the "Trunk" lid side.
As Tom mentioned, if the opening the latch pin slides into is closed, your "Trunk" will not shut. The latch itself is a "C" on a cam, and it captures the latch pin (body side).
To open a closed latch, use a screw driver and pretend it is the pin. Stick it in the hole and while releasing the "Trunk", flip the latch open.
