Default 2001 LS trunk won't close

The trunk on my 2001 LS430 won't close on it's own, slamming it shut or applying pressure does nothing...

The ONLY way keep it closed is to close it, THEN sit on it with all my body weight.

I noticed some sort of motor that pulls the trunk down doesn't seem to latch on until i apply my 200+ lbs of weight onto it. Anybody know what the cause is? Part numbers & repair estimates are also a plus.

Your trunk lock striker needs to be adjusted (see Steps 2 and 3 in the procedure below).
