IT'S THE SEAL STICKING TO THE BODY that prevents the hatch from opening........

Fbody owners knew about this YEARS ago....their hatches were heavier also.

It's funny though, because I have the new springs and it does work better...but still gets stuck on occasion. So what the guy says about the seal sticking to the body may also play a role.

There is also a weight on the hatch itself for the non-wing Zs. I guess its suppposed to balance the weight of having the stock wing installed. Removing this can help the hatch pop up more as well.

the latch mechanism pops the trunk very fast and hard. It then falls back into the latch half way getting it stuck. Try holding down the button until you open the trunk.
