Default TSB for sticky trunk lid ?

Anyone know the TSB # that refers to getting the second survo put on the trunk of an '03 that came with only one survo ?
I've tried everything, WD-40 on the hindges and latch, silicone on the weather stripping, the only thing left is to try the second servo.
Thanks...............

You might try pulling back the interior trunk liner, and making sure you get some grease on the latch and the spring coils. I put white grease on mine and it has been working ever since.
Before I added grease, I could push my trunk down but not latch it, and it still would not pop back up. After the grease, I could push it down to just short of latching, and it will pop back up every time. I think there was too much friction in the pop up spring causing it to bind up. Of course, a little grease on the latch assembly will also help.

Thanks for the tips. I just finished putting a drop or two of oil in strategic places on the hinges and fastener and now it works like a charm. I might caution against getting too liberal with any kind of spray lube since the cockpit will probably smell for a few days.
