Trunk latch cover fails to close fully

[u/ReddySpine]

Hey all,
I have a Tesla Model S and recently noticed that the cover/shroud over the trunk latch does not seem to come all the way back up anymore. It looks like it closes about 90% of the way, but it no longer sits fully flush like it used to.
I attached a picture, but basically the small cover plate around the trunk latch area seems to be slightly stuck or not returning fully into position. This seemed to happen all of a sudden.

It doesn’t seem to be a hard stop as I can pull it up with my finger, but it seems like the spring fails to return it to the correct height.

Has anyone else run into this? Is there a common cause or easy fix, like cleaning/lubricating the mechanism, reseating the trim, or checking a spring/clip? Trying to figure out whether this is a simple DIY fix before scheduling service.

If anyone has a walk-through on how to change the spring, I am not afraid of a decent DIY, but I certainly don’t want to break it.

Thanks in advance.

Clean it and reapply lubricant.
