The rubber part to my trunk latch has melted almost completely! in warm weather it transfers to my hands. In winter in cold weather (below 50 degrees) I can't open the trunk at all. Now the surrounding part around my latch has loosen. I'm so frustrated that when I can actually get into my trunk my fingers are covered in tar.
