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 just had a play with the latch this morning. There doesn't seem to be much play in it for vertical adjustment but I pushed it as low as it would go and tightened back up so it seems to be working properly now. Only time will tell if it continues though...
FOLLOW UP: OK it's a few days later and the hatch is not releasing again. It pops but doesn't move up out of the latch far enough. I'm wondering if, since it worked momentarily, it's actually due to something being worn. Will inspect for worn parts in the latch next time I'm working on her...
