I think they call it lubrication or something exotic like that

When I hit the trunk release with my fob, it releases, but not fully. I have to do it a second time to fully unlock.

The release mechanism sounds weak on the first hit and stronger on the second. Anyway to fix this?

Also, where is the trunk release button located in the interior? I searched for one when I got the car and couldn't find it (I thought it was strange to have to use the fob each time).

Thanks in advance!

The release button is on the driver's door panel where the window switches are.

Found it thanks! Still, I have to hit it, it partially opens (same as when pressing the keyfob) then walk to the trunk, pull on it, then hit the switch again to open it.

Anyone been through this before? Is there a fix?
