ugh!!!!!ive had enough! trunk release mod? i know there was a thread awhile back about a "mod" to fix the damn trunk release that sticks when you pop the trunk. and i cant friggin find it. anyone know what it was?
and what im talking about is you hit the trunk release but it just pops and doesnt fully release. its still latched. you have to go back and pull up on it while hitting the button again to open it.

Thanks for reminding me to do this mod! I meant to do it a while ago & just forgot about it. We don't open the hatch that much on the TA, so it just slipped my mind. Got mine fixed this afternoon. 
To the above poster. I got my spring from lowes. It is 1/2" x 2 5/8". Believe me, that is sufficient. (I piggy-backed mine as well)

and it cost $2.

for those of you who still have the problem after you piggy back the spring, replace the hatch shocks.
and to keep your shocks as healthy as possible, don't slam your trunk down to close it.
