I use a 2011 Crown Victoria LX as a livery vehicle. Frequently, the trunk lid won't latch after loading. After several tries, it will eventually latch. Is there a fix for this?

Usually, the latch mechanism has failed. Not very sturdy. As you may imagine, our Deputies are in and out of the Trunk all day as well. I've changed several. The internal mechanism isn't very heavy duty and once they mess up, all the tweaking in the world won't bring them back to proper operation.
