I can't get my trunk to latch
There should be an adjust screw on the housing that allows the catch bar to adjust up or down, just loosen and adjust and then re-tighten. that should do it

Make sure it is not binding/sticking where you pull the release cable.
Drench the entire works in WD-40. Push it back and forth until it moves with no resistance.
Make sure the part that hooks onto the latch hasn't come loose enough to not slide over when it makes contact.
If that doesn't work, take the whole thing off. You'll have to anyway to replace it. Chances are with it disassembled you'll see what's wrong.
