Default 2008 vette Trunk Issue

The trunk mechanism on my 2008 corvette, suddenly will not close my trunk.
When you press the latch, i hear the motor trying to complete the close.
but it does not happen. Does this mean i need a complete new hatch mechanism, and
if so is there any way to get the trunk closed in the mean time.
Any assistance would be deeply appreciated.

Darri Joscelyn, sorry I didn’t get to this sooner so I could help you with the trunk closing. Have you been able to get it to a dealership to take a look at this?

Thanks,
Laura

What happens if you just hold the lid closed? does the latch catch and hole the top down?
You might also try closing the top with a little more force to see if it will latch with out the auto mechanism, mine does that if I close it to hard.
