Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

so a few weeks ago, I opened up my front trunk to clean it out before I stored it for the winter here in Canada. As usual, I bring the front trunk down to get it to latch on and then push gently to lock it down. Well, oddly enough, it kept bouncing back up and I can't , for the life of me, lock the front trunk ! Has anyone else experienced this problem ? Now, I'm not sure if temperature has anything to do with it, but it is below freezing here right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

POST 2Original post

I'm having the same problem. I haven't been completely unable to get it to secure yet, but I have to keep trying repeatedly.

POST 3Original post

Joe; is it sitting outside?, we've had a wide temperature swing out west and for a while when it got cold the doors on my passat wouldn't latch shut since it (your 986) has an electric release , you might start by checkinG that nothing has fallen down into the latching area, i solved ,my cold problem by putting a heat gun to the latch mechanism. by the way thatS one very nice looking ride.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It's sitting in my garage, but my garage is abot -15 right about now lol I never had this problem last year though. I'll check for debris tomorrow.
