hey everyone,
Just wondering if anyone has this problem. Sometimes when i open the trunk door of the Z, it doesn't stay up. It looks like it doesn't have enough strength to stay up and just shuts down. Any experience this before?

I had the same problem especially when it was cold. When I took my car in for the hatch release TSB, they also replaced the hatch struts. The story they told me is that there is some type of ball valve inside the strut that gets stuck in the open position and it's more sensitive when it's cold.

For those that have aftermarket wings, make sure the weight plate in the back is removed. If your Z came with the stock wing, chances are that the plate was already removed. Just check to be sure.
