What did you do with your Z today

There is a TSB for the hatch issue, where they replace the springs. It fixes the issue for some, not for others.

You can also drop a couple pennies under the springs to fix the issue.

I never cared enough to bother. Double tapping the button is not really a big inconvenience to me.

Yeah I really don't either, but generally speaking the only time anyone opens the hatch is to put something in the trunk, meaning your hands are full. and the real pain is, even if I double tap it from the start, I usually still have to lift it and let it catch, then press it again for it to release. PITA.... OWell

if you drop in the stronger springs + a penny, the issue will pretty much disappear.

Mine pops open on the first try.

The hatch, that is.
