Hatch on trunk stuck

ALX370Z · 02-10-2012, 11:56 PM

I recently removed the plastic covering of the trunk to install a spoiler. After closing the trunk and double checking to make sure everything is in it's proper place and secure, the trunk get's stuck when I press the release button. It would pop open but I would not be able to open the trunk unless I press the button and pull the trunk itself up at the same time.

Would anybody know how to proceed?

It's possible, it's possible kenchan..because the problem presented post spoiler install.

Anyways used the 3 pennies trick and it works like a charm now!
