Fixed the Trunk.....Yay!!! A question too
Well I figured out why my trunk opened so violently. It was a combination of the spring setting (as alot of people have suggested) and a rubber stop that was missing. I removed the trunk lining and saw that the stopper had fallen off. Some super glue and a spring adjustment, and the thing works as good as new!
Also, I was trying to remove the door panel, but could not. I removed all of the screws (behind SRS, behind handle, plate piece and latch) and unclipped everything (as well as removed tweeter). I can look behind the panel but cannot detach it from the door. It seems locked at the top, near the handle. Any ideas? I searched and read that it just pulls off but I can't get it. (I have a rattle that I want to fix)
