Reasons why the trunk of Geely Emgrand cannot be closed: 1. There is a foreign object stuck in the trunk slot; 2. The trunk lock hook is damaged; 3. The spring rod is too stiff; 4. The key is left inside the car. The Geely Emgrand is a compact car with body dimensions of 4632 mm in length, 1789 mm in width, and 1470 mm in height, a wheelbase of 2650 mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The Geely Emgrand is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 109 hp, a maximum power of 80 kW at 6000 rpm, a maximum torque of 142 Nm at 4400 rpm.
I think the trunk not closing properly is mostly due to an issue with the locking mechanism. My Emgrand had a similar problem before. The latch might be rusty or have small stones stuck inside, preventing it from fully engaging. Additionally, if the trunk's spring rods are weak or fatigued, the door won't close tightly, especially noticeable on rainy days. When I opened the trunk last time, I found the sealing strip deformed or aged, causing the door to pop open when closed—probably due to thermal expansion and contraction. It's best to first check if anything is stuck at the edges inside the trunk, like luggage bags or tools, remove them, and then try pushing it shut firmly. If that doesn’t work, apply some lubricant spray to the latch—never force it shut to avoid damage. If ignored long-term, the door suddenly popping open while driving can be dangerous, and water may seep in, damaging the interior. I recommend regular maintenance of trunk components. If the issue persists, visit a specialized repair shop to have professionals adjust the lock core or replace the spring rods. Geely models often have such problems—fixing them early saves hassle.
