It's not really Jerry Rigged. All we did was open the mechanism and just re attached the spring that came lose. If it was the latch wouldn't the trunk be physically opening now just the car thinking it's open? The trunk is never open its totally secured shut and the hatch works just fine. I just didn't know if there was some kind of sensor in the trunk or something that could of gone bad?

I mean I guess it could be because we fixed the broken hatch but I don't see why it's not like we use duck tape and really MacGuyvered it we just opened up out everything back in place and close it.
