The front trunk is almost impossible to open unless someone presses down on the lid as the cable is pulled. Is there a simple procedure for adjusting the tension on the release latch?
At first I thought maybe it was a pinched or restricted cable but it seems to pull fairly freely with the lid open. HELP |

You can also try to adjust the latch mechanism upward a little. If everything lines up and the corner bumpers are adjusted where you want, it could put too much stress on the latching mechanism.
The easiest thing you can do is put washers in between the hood and the hook latch, and see if that helps. Just make sure the hood seal is hitting everywhere. You can test how the seal fits by putting a strip of paper between the hood and seal, and pulling it out. If it drags or you can't pull it, it's good, if it slips right out, you need some adjustment. If you don't ever use the car in the rain, skip this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
