1-) Trunk opens but my fingers do not fit under to pull it up, can this be adjusted by me or need to bring it top the dealer.

Jem,
It was bothering me too, about the trunk. I just never got around to it, but today I bought Corsa chrome tips, so I went to put them on. I remembered the trunk when I popped it open to get a rag out. It's an easy fix. On the decklit on each end there are two rubber adjustments. Just keep turning them slightly until there is a little bit more pressure on the trunk when it closes and it should pop up a little higher to get your hand underneath. Don't adjust them too much or the decklit won't line up with the bumper. Add a little lubricant on the end of the rubber adjustments so they won't stick in the summer. There is also another way to adjust it, but try this one. This may help the problem.

Thanks,
DId that on the trunk lid and works great I also lubricated everything and that helped. I posted before, but it did not make, seems to be a problem when I access through my Email. The brake seem to stick slightly after hard accelleration and followed by soft braking. My cruise is ok, but when the brakes stick since my brake lights remain on my cruise will not engage. I will try to post where you suggested. Again thanks.
Jem,
I am glad it worked out for you.:clap:
