“I used my trunk for the first time after purchasing my new car. After I shut it, there was a gap between the trunk lid and the bottom, as if it was still open. I put my hand underneath the trunk lid in order to lift and try again. Before I could lift, the trunk hydraulic-ly closed down tightly on my fingers. My hand was clamped, immovable. Luckily in my other hand I had the keys, and was able to unlock the trunk, because the pain was excruciating. I believe this may have had something to do with the mechanics of the hard top convertible which lowers into the trunk. …”
