put a stronger spring in

go to install documents. look for it in there

Or you can just press it twice really quick...

Just go down to your local hardware store and buy a C-141 spring. It's 5/8" X 1-1/2". Pull back the lining around the latch and piggy-back this spring onto the factory one. You will probably have to tweak the hook on the spring a little to get it on there. Fixed!

edit: This works on an '02 Camaro. I think the 'bird is the same.

Heck ya man i forgot all bout install university i appreciate it man that should def. fix my problem. thanks alot. i def have to get this done. :)

yea cool

Your choice is either (like Dimitri said) two quick pushes of the button vs. a hatch that has a recoil a shotgun would be proud of.

I opted for the extra pushes because I figured if the latch ever gave way due to the extra pressure of the spring (over time), the cost would be more than the benefit.

The stronger spring fixed mine. It was aggravating for sure.
