Anybody have a cure for trunk lock push button sticking in and not letting the door close?
If you tell me to lubricate it, tell me how.

Chain and cable fluid and push the button in and out a few times then do it again with lube and push in and out..
They been sticking since the first models rolled off the line.
I also readjusted the cables etc when I had my 2010.
Didn't have to slam it so hard to close the door
WD leaves a sticky film over time. When they used propane as a propellent, it was good starting fluid.
Now it's just good as a homeowner lube for squeaky door hinges.
I've had 2 TG's for 5 years now. Not one problem with the trunk lock.
I treat the trunk door like I use to treat my '68 VW bug's doors. Swing the door to almost closed (to push out the inside air because the VW was almost airtight), stop, and them continue with a firm push = works every time - never ever had to slam the door. ThumbUp
In the winter it's a little sluggish, but eventually will spring back out.
White Lithium Grease on the catch inside and hang onto the lid:Agree: 100%, never "slam" the trunk door unless you don't mind purchasing a new lock!! The internal sleeve that hold the lock in place is made of plastic!! Don't ask me how I know!! :AGGHH:

Did you change the lock yourself? If so, did you use a valve spring compressor or find another way to compress the spring while you put "U" tab in to hold it in place? I guess I will not slam my trunk again!:Agree: 100%, never "slam" the trunk door unless you don't mind purchasing a new lock!! The internal sleeve that hold the lock in place is made of plastic!!
