what year/model car?
on my '79 the switch broke, so I bought a NOS switch, now the motor wont engauge.. on that the motor is remotely mounted and driven by a cable, so I disconnected the cable and used a screw driver to adjust the latch, I would close the trunk, when it got to a point i liked... closed al the way yet easy to close, I put the cable back in.... to keep the latch from moving.
if it is the newer type where the motor is kinda built in, on the trunk part there should be a lever switch (or if RWD it will be within the trunk latch) ush it so the latch goes down alot, then unplug the harness, close the trunk and see how it sits... it'll either be too high (make latch lower) or wont close (make latch higher)
really I would leave it, while they do break, its usually because people slam them and stuff.... be happy it works and show it off to your buddies that their car dosn't do that
you are right tho... as far as I am concerned, it is pointless.... my Olds dosn't have it and the '79 is now disabled... I like it.... I am not 95 years old and I wont break my back if I truck to close a freakin trunk.... plus, the trunk lid on the Olds was just as easy, if not more easy then the trunk on the '93 Coupe... just let it latch down.
