My parents used to have an 89 Dynasty with this "feature." They had
problems with this feature twice. The first time too much stuff got put
in there and when the trunk pulled down it ripped the sheet metal (this
is was visible looking up at the catch area) so that the catch and the
motorized part no longer matched up. The second time the latch actually
got damaged/misaligned somehow. Everything looked normal to us when we
looked in there. Eventually my dad took it to a body shop (the dealer
couldn't handle it) and they fixed it for about $50. Sometimes we found
that if we let it cycle down then it would bring the bottom latch up and
it would then work again. Sometimes not.
