Default Trunk stuck

Quick question,

It seems every time I want to open the trunk, with either the key or the remote, it gets stuck. I usually have to press the button four or five times or turn the key the same amount of times to get it to open. Its already out f warranty, so, how do I fix this ?

After you unlock it, push down onthe emblem, the trunk will click and you can lift it up.

Is it the actual lock? Mine used to stick, so I'd have to force it open. Used silicone spray on the rubber and it eventually stopped and hasn't come back. Pretty sure there wasn't anything wrong with my lock.

Could be the latch is not adjusted properly.

Get out the BFH and have a whack or two at it.

Mine does it too, it's a PITA. I've looked for a latch adjustment, there is none on the trunk lid, I'll have to look at the base some day.
