Trunk Latch question

I am a new trike owner - purchased a new 2012 with a IRS Motor Trike kit. I have an unusual problem....when I try to reclose the trunk it won't latch. I called the trike converter (he's 600 miles from me so I can't easily go see him) and he said to trip the latches with a screwdriver, which I have done and then the door latches. But when I re-open it, and then try to close it again, I have the same problem - won't latch, and both locks need to be re-set. <br />
<br />
I am hesitant to take the lock assembly apart. There must be a reason why that lock unlatches than doesn't reset again.<br />
<br />
I really need some advice on this! I don't mind a 600 mile trip to the dealer but it really isn't in the direction I want to go!<br />

We just spent the weekend in Middleton.
Our son and family live there.
There is a MT dealer in Manitowoc and that's only just over 2 hours away.
I go there with my Champion.
 
First, welcome to the site from the U.P.of Michigan, second congratulations on your new trike. Personally l have not had that problem but I am sure others on here can help you out.
 
Hi, I had the same problem on my 2011 Triglide. After I open it, I just relock the lock button and then close the door and it will latch itself and stay locked. This seems to work for me. Later Krazy "I"
 
What about just trying to make an adjustment to the part on the lid that goes into the latch. May also be the cable that pulls the latch is bound up somehow and not allowing the cable full free movement.<br />
