Re: Two problems with my 350Z

I open my trunk both ways - with the remote when the car is locked, and with the rear trunk release (above the license plate) when it is unlocked. It opens and closes very easily both ways. In fact, the 350Z has special lifters to make "one-handed" opening easy. Closing the lid is just as smooth for me. I used to have a Celica with a trunk that seemed to weigh a ton when I opened it - the Z is so-o-o-o much better.

ah where is the rear trunk release? not being stupid. I honestly don't know.

It's that little "rubber" rectangle just above the license plate. Sometimes it is hard to feel on the first try, but after you know where it is, you will go right to it every time. It only pops the trunk when the doors are unlocked. It is great if you need to open the trunk when the car is running.

Underneath, above the license plate.
