Trunk Lid?

[im20agn]

It's a small thing but I noticed that when I pop the trunk it unlocks but does not lift at all usually with a pressure cylinder the trunk lid on most cars will come up at least a few inches. Is this typical?

Yes, all of them are like that. as for as I know.

yup, mine releases but it doesn't physically lift much at all, maybe 1/2 inch. to me, it's a moot point...but decent observation...

That is something that is a pain. The trunk is somewhat heavy to lift up; my wife complains about it when she's carrying something and has to open it. It is also awkward to close. Hopefully this will be addressed with the redesign.

I Miss The Auto Pull Down Close Trunk Lid....My Caddy Elorado Had It Very Nice Feature....

I'm thinking perhaps a heavier Lift cylinder may solve the problem, I'll check into it and if it works will get back to everyone.

This thread has come up before but finding another suitable gas strut has been difficult. Good Luck im20agn
