1993 Park Avenue-trunk will latch but not close tight. Several years ago had motor disconnected so you just slam truck and not worry. Now the metal latch-catch is up high and trunk will not shut tight. Do not know how to get the metal latch-catch to lower. Anyone have any idea?

move the latch up slamming it knock it lower

Check to make sure there is nothing obstruction the actual trunk lid from closing. If not, check to make sure the arms holding the lid on aren't damaged, and that they have the full range of movement. If not, then check that the latching mechanism isn't broken or obstructed.

CHECK FOR LOOSE BOLTS AT THE LATCH STRIKER IF BOLTS LOOSE MOVE STRIKER TO CORRECT POSITION SLOWLY CLOSE TRUNK LID UNTIL THE TRUNK LID LATCH AND LATCH STRIKER COME IN CONTACT TO CLOSE TRUNK.ONCE BOTH ADJUSTMENTS CORRECT. TIGHTEN THE LATCH STRIKER BOLTS TRUNK SHOULD NOW CLOSE.

This car should be equipped with a trunk closing motor. If they wear out they will not pull the trunk firmly closed. If you have a standard latch or other you can try to adjust it by 1) open trunk 2) loosen the two bolts that hold the latch to the trunk lid and moving the latch just slightly higher and retightening the bolts. A couple of tries should do it. Thanks for asking at Fixya.com.

There is a motor on the bottom latch that goes bad. Make sure that the fuses are all good. They can be found on the driver's side left of steering column. On the cover if you flip it over will have a list of the fuses and what they go too. If they are all good, the motor is most likely at fault.

replace pull-down switch.

The latch on the deck lid needs to be clicked open so it can catch the striker. Try key to unlock and see if you can get the latch hook open.

the latch has come loose.. use scewdriver and adjust them to the point that it will close then make sure screws are tight

manualy lower the latch and disconnect the electrical therminal try it out let me know HOPE IT HELP FIXYA OUR POST THANKS PIERRE
