Any repair shop (body shop or auto repair shop) should be able to handle trunk repair. You may want to look through your local yellow pages. Have you tried spraying a lubricant into the latch assembly, sometimes it help to lube it and use a screw driver to flip latch/lock to locked position and then release with key or trunk release button several times. Rust is prone to jam locks and latches. Most local auto parts stores carry these latches in stock, and it is relatively easy to change out. Let me know if you need further help.

I have a 2004 chevy cavalier and the trunk latch won't click into place and close fully, therefore the trunk won't close fully.

yes that could be the problem. try this putt your key in to the lock and turn it to unlock it , check to see if latch is open ,while still holding the key in the unlock position close the trunk and relock it with the key while pushing down on the hood at the same time. replace the lock when you can .there is no quick fix for this unless u use a bungee cord for it .

In my 1998 Bonneville, I somehow locked myself out of the trunk. No key will work and I'm told there's an emergency switch in the trunk somewhere. I've looked through the backseat 'entrance' but don't kow...

There is an emergency release on the latch itself inside the trunk.Should have a red tap on a small cable.you will need to crawl into the trunk to release the latch.Good luck!

Cannot get 1997 Pontiac Bonneville trunk to lock

Latch may have come loose and dropped, look at paint makes to confirm this. The latch may be already tripped, you need to unlock and at the same time lift the fall piece with a screw driver.

Trunk wont open where is emergency switch inside trunk

I had the same problem as you. Take out the back seat and there is a large access hole to the interior. There are two bolts that are fairly easy to get to. Remove them and the truck latch is removed from the lid and trunk will open.
