Trunk won't seal all the way shut, can't operate hard top

I've been dealing with this trunk issue on my 2009 BMW Z4 (E89) for about two months now, wondering if any of you have any insight.

When I close the trunk, it latches (won't open back up without pushing trunk release button) but it doesn't seal shut the remaining centimeter or so like it's supposed to. Because of this, the car thinks the trunk is still open which restricts me from operating the hard top.

It seems to work (seal shut) intermittently and sometimes even while I'm driving or when I close my car door, but 90% of the time it doesn't work. BMW quoted me $891.27 for "the entire rear trunk lock and mechanism" + labor. Anyone know specifically what the issue may be and if there's a cheaper way for me to get it fixed?
