Default One of the pins that holds the rear deck broke :(

The cover that goes over the trunk has a plastic pin on each side. One of them disconnected itself from the cover. Looks like it could be a glue job but I was looking at it in the dark so will need more investigation.

I rarely use my trunk. It looks like the connection ebtween the plastic and the cover is pretty cheaply designed. Should be an easy fix.

If it's one of the upper pins that holds the cord, easy fix. About 8 bucks from dealer
