When I press the button to release the trunk, it pops open the lock, but not enough to fully disengage the lid. It takes two hands (one on the button, and one pulling up on the lid) to actually get it clear of the locking mechanism. Can this be fixed by some stronger trunk struts, or is there some other solution?

I've got the cargo cover attached, and I know that adds a little weight, (also have the standard OEM Touring spoiler), but it's pretty cumbersome to open this thing, especially when carrying groceries, etc.

Anyone got a solution to this to make it a single handed open? It doesn't have to go all the way up (though that would be nice) but for it to at least clear the lock so that I could hit the button and then simply lift the lid all with one hand.
