My trunk has been having issues for quite a while. But it's worked most of the time with some finessing. The problem is that the latch that you press to open the trunk gate is all gummed up. It literally feels like a hunk of semi-wet bubble gum when I press it. Further... It is quite often that the trunk will not open on the first attempt. I have to keep pressing/pulling to get it to work. I walked out to my car this morning and went through just this routine, when I heard the trim piece crack from using too much pressure. It's still on (not hanging or anything), but it's very loose. And I'm not going to risk opening the trunk in case it falls off completely. I'm not concerned about the trim piece, because they sell knockoffs online, which I know because my buddy's trim piece on his Gen 2 broke, and I ordered one for him. I'll get one of those. However... My main question is, in addition to that trim piece...should I JUST order the latch (small black piece with wiring) itself, or do you think I'd need the whole lock actuator? Thanks.
