When I hit the hatch button in the car or on the remote, the hatch opens slightly, but not all of the way. I usually have to hit the button again and pull up on the hatch at the same time, or the catch just doesn't let go.
I'm guessing the tube/arm mechanisms that hold the trunk open/closed are pulling down to tight. Is there any way to adjust those?

My 2002 manual tells me you have to press the hatch button twice on the remote to get it to release. I think it's because folks were inadvertently opening it when it was only one press. I know I did it lots on my 94 [img]smile.gif[/img]
Don't know about the inside release, I never use that one, I'll have to try it.
My 99 firebird doesn't have an inside switch that I know of, if there is tell me where it is. And the reason it doesn't open all the way is because the shocks are wore out, they don't have the strength to push it up anymore by theirself.
nope...shocks are just fine...if it holds your trunk open when up your shocks are fine....if you open your trunk and pull back the carpet surrounding the release system...you'll see a spring ...this spring is what pushes the trunk latch up so it clears the hatch release and you can lift your trunk up...go buy another spring about the same length, and attach it to the current spring, and your done...my car did the same thing....oh ya...SEARCH...been discussed ;)
Inside release switch on my 98 is to the left of the steering wheel, on the downslope side of the dash. Yellow button, cant miss it. Oh yeah, the button will not work if the car is on and the emergency brake is not engaged.
does anyone with the inside hatch release button have a problem with it sometimes? sometimes when i press it, the solonoid in the back doesnt release the hatch. Sometimes the button doesnt even work at all, and i have to turn the damn car off, get out, and use the key. Kind of a PITA.
(oh, i DO NOT have a problem with the hatch not opening. I use the rubber adjustment things)
