Trunk switch problem!

5 out of 10 times that I get out of my car, my legs hits the trunk switch by the door and unlocks the trunk. Does anyone else has this problem? Any suggestions in what should I do?
Thanks

Never heard of this problem. Suggestion: be more careful getting out of the car? (sorry)

right forum? I don't see how that's possible on my ar.

The trunk release switch (which I've pressed even once) is on the front of the B-pillar.

Perhaps you have the after market toggle switch instead of the normal button....

and yes! anyone would hit this on the way out? Only way for this to happen is with the seat all the way back (you're tall) & swinging your leg into the button. This would also take a bit of skill to push your leg into the recessed button for half a second just to get this to work!
