Smile Trunk release HINT

Not sure if everyone's is the same, but this is my 2nd Bug and the trunk release in the door card, doesn't give me time to get to the back of the Bug quick enough.

So flick the switch and shut the door. The compression of air from shutting the door pops the boot up enough so it doesn't lock again

Pointless HINT but works

I think there is an adjustment you can do on the trunk to help that. If you search around, there are a few threads about it.
