Every time I open the trunk with the remote or door button, the latch chatters. In order to close the trunk I have to make it chatter 2-4 times. Do I need to change the latch to fix the problem.

Update: After much research and part search, I found out you have to replace the entire latch on the trunk lid. It is $81.80 at a dealership, but is easily found on Ebay motors for around $40. The bad part is the solenoid which is built into the latch which does not come apart. It only took 10 minutes with a 5/16 ratchet to replace.
