Default Trunk Release Question
Is there any way to adjust how high the trunk releases when activated? Mine is difficult to open as I can barely get my fingers under the lid to open it up.

try adjusting the stop so that they are a little higher. the down fall will be that the hatch will be a little more difficult to close.

Thanks for the reply. I did not make it clear this is a vert not a coupe. I have to look for an adjustment.

Mine is not opened frequently and sometimes the weatherstripping sticks.

you need to spray the latch with wd40 and it will pop up higher so you can open more easily. repeat when needed
