Trunk pop up height.

[Murray20c8]

The trunk on our C8 only pops up 1/4 of an inch. No big deal until one is wearing gloves. The late 4th gen Camaros had the trunk release mechanism changed to a different manufacturer and the spring wasn't strong enough to pop the the lid high enough. The fix for that was a helper spring one bought from Home Depot.
I know there are the rubber bumpers that one can adjust, but I'm afraid that might make it harder to close or change the lid alignment.
Before I start messing with things I was wondering what the randoms on the internet thought.

I haven’t measured but mine doesn’t come up that much, just enough to get finger tips in. No spoiler on mine so clearance is ok to get in. Probably would work with thin gloves.

My question would be Why are you wearing gloves when you're driving the Corvette?.... Then I remembered there are people who disrespe....errrr.... drive their Vettes in the winter....

Can't you pry it up with the credit card you use to scrape the frost off the windshield?

Update: The rubber bumpers don't do anything for the pop up height, but spraying the mechanism with WD40 did the trick. It now pops up to easily get fingers under it.

Maybe you've lost some of the fat on your fingers since November...
