Trunk lift issues solved?
I have been trying to resolve issues with the '04 roadster I recently bought. Those issues were:
1. Trunk doesn't stay open unless fully open. Solution: new trunk lifters. Really easy to put in and did the trick.
2. Trunk release works but the trunk lid barely moves when released. I had to basically force my fingers under the lid to open. Solution: Remove and disassemble the assister spring assemblies. I stretched the springs to 3" and re-assembled. This seems to have solved my problem but only time will tell if it's permanent.
I hope this might help someone with a similar issue.

You've got a good idea, but I'm going to try below link first then try stretching the spring if results aren't optimal.

Yeah, I get the feeling that my spring stretch is temporary. The trunk lid just pops up enough so that I don't have to jam my fingers in the seam. Since I bought the car used, I don't know if that's as much as we can expect or whether it should pop up an inch, or what. I guess when my fix fails I'll bite the bullet and buy new springs.
