Default Re: Deck lid will not open

Once the fob button is pressed twice, there is engagement of the mechanism but the latch still won't open the deck lid.
Any suggestions other than a return to the dealer?

I had the same problem, and I was able to unscrew the steel "d-ring" that the latch uses to lock the decklid. Then I got the latch to work properly, however, now the "Car thinks" that the decklid is open because the interior light is on as if a door is open, and the top won't go back up. Any ideas?
