Hello everyone, I am a noob and don't flame me up I just got my g2 not too long ago and my trunk latch wont latch sometimes. To get it to latch I have to try shutting the trunk a few times and have to apply force if I want it to stay shut, does anyone know of a way to fix this or a quick fix? Thanks guys

You gotta re shim it. I took out the stock one and made a thick one and a bunch that are .01" ended up being a .1" shim total. It fixed it, it still does it on occasion but rarely. Pretty sure all that slamming broke my hatch pin tho, so my hatch light on the cluster is always lit :/.

I used an impact screwdriver to bust the screw loose on the striker. Need that or they will almost for sure strip out, since its probly never been removed. Then you can slide shims in and out... if you go buy .01" shim stock you can just stack a bunch of that. That can also just be cut with scissors, not sure shat equipment you have access to.
