Why won't my boot shut properly?

I have a 2016 MINI Countryman. The boot won’t shut properly no matter what I do.

Check the rubber seals and the metal panels around the opening of the boot either of these will prevent the boot from closing. Next, check the lock itself. Is it in the open or shut position? Is anything blocking the metal loop that attaches to the lock? If the lock is jammed, some WD40 may free it. However, if the lock has failed, it may need to be replaced.
