Default rear deck

I know this topic has been discussed but when I realease the rear deck on my '02 it barely goes up making it next to impossible to fit your finger under it to open. I believe I saw a deck mechanism that makes the deck open enough so you cand fit your fingers underneath to open. I do not remember where I saw this if it really exists. Help me find this.

Just clean the locking latch and spray with WD40. The spring may also be binding. Give it a shot, did wonders with mine.
