One or more of the following three conditions may exist on the 2010 Camaro:
1. It may be necessary to press down on the trunk lid to get it to open.
2. If the trunk lid is jammed, the only way to get it open is to pull the Emergency Trunk Release (ETR handle is inside the trunk).
3. The trunk will not close even if it is slammed.
These conditions may be caused by the latch binding with the striker, causing the trunk lid to not open, or the ETR handle may not be fully seated in the trunk trim and is pulling on the latch cable, causing the trunk lid to not close.
If the trunk lid will not open, lube the rear compartment lock mechanism and replace the trunk latch striker. The part is available only through the WPC. See PI PIC5209A for further information.
If the trunk lid will not close, with the trunk lid fully open, push up (toward the sky) on the ETR handle to be sure the ETR handle is not being held in the released or open position. Secure the handle with Velcro® tape to the rear compartment trunk lid trim.
