I noticed a few months back and was hoping it was just me being overly detailed, guess not. I have an 04 with 19K and its always garaged. Damn shame to have to replace the hatch. Damn

My 34-year-old 328 Ferrari has both a regular mechanical cable system and a back up cable system for both front and rear compartments. Had to use the backup on the engine compartment when the regular one broke - but is was indeed there - and it worked. I'm comfortable enough with the C8 - and _like_ it so much better than any of my previous Vettes that I'm going to sell the 328.

TTT, just noticed it on mine today, but already posted about it on another thread.

Looks like I have this issue on a "new-to-me" 2003 convertible 33k miles on the back trunk lid. I was going to have my body shop repaint it, but I'm not sure if there is any other recourse.

Lots of trunk lids around in good shape might get one just to swap out.
