Default Question

I have a 03 z06 with 13k miles and am wondering how to adjust two things:
1- Back trunk pops open just a little bit when you hit the button but when you close the drivers side door its goes up enough to get finger under to open.. How do I adjust this?
2- Back breaks feel fine but squeak ocassionally when breaking. Can I lube or is there adjusment for this?

Thanks for help in advance!

I've read you can grease the hinges and adjust the rubber stops for the trunk. I just always open and shut a door to let the air pressure do it for me. From what I've read there should be plenty of people chiming in on that subject if you search a bit for it.

As far as the breaks....sounds like the car doesn't get driven much, I'd take it out and drive it like you stole it a few times. ..squeeks will probably go away.
