I have a 1998 Acura RL and I live in MN It was pretty cold today and this is my first winter with this car. TOday after school, i went out to it. Popped the trunk to put my back pack in and then tried to close it. I heard that it had not latched and bounced upward. I thought that i was just my backpack covering the latch but it wasnt. So then i thought that maybe the latch had frozen so i went to the gas station and found some lock and latch deicer and put that to work in my garage. Now i just tested it after 2 hours and still doesnt close. I have parked it and disconnected my battery cuz the light wont turn off since the trunk is open. Luckily i am leaving for cancun tomorrow morn and my car wont be used for a week. PLEASE HELP
oh im sorry babe. not all of us can just up and replace a latch. I cant afford to just replace this kind of stuff when it goes wrong. I was thinking more along the lines of a quick home remedy
