One of the few problems left on the coupe is that when i pull up on the trunk release, it releases the latch, but doesnt actully pop the trunk up...so its pretty pointless unless some one is standing right behind the car and pulls up on the trunk while im holding the lever up. Same thing with when we put the key in the trunk, we have to hold the key turned, and then pull up on the trunk to get it to open. Is this common with coupes? or standard? I have never been near a coupe untill we got sarah's, so im still learning things about them as i go. Any ways, if this isnt suppost to be happening, any idea of how i can get it to pop??

i actually like that mine doesnt pop just because of my subs i have in the back. if a theif is workign by them selves and they dont know about the celica they will pull on the release and the trunk wont open. when it doesnt they will be on there happy way with hopefully only your stereo lol. i know its a bit of a hassel but if u put a a grand in to your stereo system and want to protect it this is a great way to do it imo.
