Trunk problem.
I'm still new to my used C5 and I have a question about my quirky trunk.
When I use the trunk button inside the car the trunk opens about an inch or so all the way around. I can easily get my hand in there and lift it up.
When I use the fob the trunk lid barely opens. It's a little frustrating. I thought it might be the battery in the fob. It turns out the battery reads a perfect 3 volts on my meter. It doesn't appear to be bad at all.
Has anyone else had this problem?

here's the popular fix:

if you have a hatchback coupe, you should get 2 (one for each side and to support the heavier hatch)

Trunk popper works great. The reason the inside button works better is because when you press it you are standing outside your car - with the door open. When you use the clicker, the doors are closed. The car is air tight enough to create a vacuum effect. It's a very little vacuum effect, but that's all it takes. Either way, the popper will fix all your woes.
