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 |

I'm new to this, but wouldn't simply adjusting the tension on the cable possibly solve this problem? I just had the same problem with my '73 and it was easily fixed by simply loosening the cable retaining nut at the latch while I held on to the end of the cable with a pair of pliers, then pulling the cable a bit tighter and re-tightening the retaining nut. Now the latch releases like a charm....
