Default Trunk release

When the trunk is released on my '99 vert -- the lid doesn't pop up as it used to. If anyone had a similar problem, how did you correct it? Thanks,

I libricated lubricated the hinges and lock mechanism. It worked for me.
But is seems like an adjustment to the rubber bumper is the preferred fix. If I recall, some have even bought a BMV spring assisted rubber bumper.

Give the rubber bumpers on the trunk lid a half-turn counter-clockwise.
