Resurrection of this thread because I have the same question.
The plastic bushing that fits under the rear trunk lock spring is missing on my car. I have a feeling that if it was there, the release action of the trunk using the electric solenoid would be better. Right now there isn't enough "spring" in the spring to pop the trunk lid up when I use the solenoid.
Where does one get this plastic piece or has someone fab'd something to work? Anyone have the dimensions of this piece, I might be able to get something machined at work.

Actually the piece that I am looking at making is the one that holds the spring on the pasive side of the trunk lock mechanism on the rear trunk. Factory is plastic and rides up and down the "spike" on the rear trunk lid and is always the piece that breaks.
