Sounds like you possibly need a new mechanism. I just put a salvaged latch on my wife's 97 Lesabre. She really slams trunks to make sure they are shut. This takes a toll on the trunk latches. It would no longer latch at all. Not sure if it is the exact same type latch that you have there. I could trip the latch by hand with the trunk open and the release button in the car would open it okay, but, when shutting the trunk, it would no longer trip and lock on the latch bar below. I had previously filed on it some to get more adjustment out of it. I had lowered it to help it latch. The bottom trunk bar does not seem to be adjustable. Found a salvaged mechanism for $10 which works great. Most of the Lesabres in the junkyard were missing trunk lids, so most of the latches were gone. Had to really look to find one that matched. I am fairly sure that mine only uses power one direction, to open the trunk. To latch it, the bar below trips the mechanism. Again, it might be somewhat different for the 95.
