Default FRC trunk release question.... DELETE..found answer!

Push the button, trunk release works, but the trunk barely pops up enough so you can't get a finger under it to open!
Is there any adjustment for this?
Found answer in C5 general....thanks

My FRC does the same exact thing. I have been told that the shocks are worn out and need to be replaced.

I'm hoping that there is an adjustment or something. Good luck and keep me posted!

I've got the trunk popper on my FRC. My buddy liked it so much he got one for his '07 vert.

Best mod yet!!

Theres suppose to be a spring inside the latch that you can bent to push the trunk up higher but, I have yet to disassemble it to figure it out.
