Yesterday a friend of mine accidentally slammed my trunk too and now the auto-lever isn't working. I've tried the trunk release button in the glove box, but that didn't work either.
Is there another way to fix this?

From your post it sounds like it opens fine, but it just doesn't pull it shut if you gently close it? If that's the case, do you hear anything when you close the trunk? You can usually detect the whir of a small motor that is basically just winding the strap around a spool.

Given the way the autoseal works, I highly doubt that slamming the trunk can cause it to fail... the actual motor that pulls it shut isn't even located in the trunk lid.
