Couple random questions.

How hard does your trunk close? I have to slam mine pretty hard. I have checked the bump stops but thats not the problem and it looks like the latch is allighned pretty well. So i dont know what the problem is.

And does your steering wheel lock? Im pretty sure mine used to but I took mine apart the other day and now it doesnt.

Re: Couple random questions.

Yeah, you have to give the trunks on these cars a little bit of force before they'll cling and stay latched. That's the case on any Fbod I've touched the trunk off...

Not sure what you did to your steering wheel. It should lock when the key is out of the ignition and you're attempting to turn the wheel.

All I do is drop my trunk from about two inches, and it locks all by itself. Never had any problems with it not shutting or having to push down on it

Hard to shut with windows up, fairly easy with them down. (good weatherstripping,good seals).
