Trunk Won't Close Properly

Has any experience this problem? For some reason, it takes like 5 or 6 slams before it closes, this never used to happen. T

he only thing I can think of is that a few weeks ago I had a full keg back there it was rolling around a little bit. However, I took the covers of in the trunk and saw no signs of denting or damages. I even PB Blasted the latches and that didn't work.Can anyone help?

The keg may have smashed the locking mechanism. Try looking at that. Take the cover off the mechanism, move the back seat so you can shine a flashlight into the trunk, and have someone close it slowly. It may be misaligned or almost broken.
