Time for a WD-40 bath. Get an old towel and a can of WD. Soak the heck out of the latch mechanisim attached to the trunk lid. Leave it set in a while and wipe excess and dripping WD-40 as needed. You should be able to work the latch with your fingers, and get it to latch closed with little effort. Use your key to unlatch and repeat the latch/unlatch sequence a few times to work in the lube.
