Mine used to get stuck once in a while. Check the height of the 2 rubber stops, 1 on each side of the area by the tail lights under the trunk. One of then, or both may be just a tad too high and causing it to be too tight when you close it. If there is too much pressure pushing down on them by the trunk, it won't pop open..

Another fella on here had similar problems and liberal WD40 cleaned out the gunk.
