When I push the button to release the trunk it makes a loud bang and pops & unlocks................but it does not rise at all. It stays down. It even looks shut. My question is on your car does the trunk actually raise up a couple of feet or a couple of inches or somemtihing or does yours do the same as mine. Thanks I figured I would ask before I started messing with the latches.

 

mine unlocks and raises a bit. sometimes i barely notice (rarely) and other times the trunk is 3 inches higher than normal

 

Mine pops up about an inch...thats it. Always has been like that since day 1.

 

Same here...

 

kevon, mine does the same thing, barely notice that the trunk is open - thought ot might be the extra weight of the spoiler - any one else's answer ?

 

It's the weight of the spoiler. Liube the gasket with silicon to keep it from sticking, but it won't raise more than an inch.

 

I appreciate the answers. It was just bugging me because I kind of remember the trunk going about half way up. But this is my second maxima maybe it was my old 96 that would go up. Thanks again.
