I have a problem with a while with opening my trunk. With a pull the release lever or when i turn the key, the trunk will open but just not completely. The only way to open the trunk is to simultanously pull the trunk itself and turn the key.
Is this a common problem? How can this be fixed? -------------------- |

QUOTE (BonzaiCelica @ Dec 27, 2012 - 3:58 PM)  I don't think that is the same problem i have. I can turn the key both ways without any problem at all and the trunk wil open, but not completely released. So thats why i think this is an other problem. -------------------- |

Trunk hinge supports need to be replaced. My car does the exact same thing and I believe replacing the support struts will resolve it.

Good luck to both |
