trunk lid won't close

I have an '07 SL55 with keyless go, and oftentimes I push the close button and the trunk lid will partially close and then re-open. I have to repeat the process several times before it will close. Anyone have this problem? Remedy?

It's keyless go, and when I press the close button or the lock button on the lid, the lid goes 1/2-2/3 way down and then re-opens. I read somewhere that there may be an air leak, probably in the latch, that bleeds off as the lid is closing. Makes sense to me, and since it's still under warranty, I'm going to let the dealer resolve it, though this will be their second attempt.
