The trunk does not seem to stay closed. We tried locking it with the key but hasn't solved the problem. Any suggestions?

Thanks

You may have to adjust the latching control. Has the car been in an accident?

The Car Fax did not indicate that it was ever involved in an accident. We bought it used from a car dealer. One owner for 7 1/2 yrs and one for 18 days.

Is the trunk not closing at all or is the trunk closing then opening by itself?

I have a 2006Hyundai Elantra and was just in a accident and it seems like the Trunk latch is not connecting with the bottom part, so its not closing. Does anyone know how to adjust the Latch assembly?
