Not sure which latches you are speaking of. Front latches, rear top latches or deck latch. There are adjustments. Need more info.

Mine used to be hard to pop up on occasion,too.But after a year or so, it went away on its own.So I'm curious as to what fix, if any there is,also.

Just need adjustment. I don't think there's any difference across years.

I have the same problem with my rear deck not popping up. If there is an adjustment, how is it done?
