Default Hatch Release Question

When you press the button in back to release the hatch should it release with one touch? I have to hold the button and open the hatch with my other hand. I think my button is screwed up.

Thanks

Many here have had that problem. It's the springs that pop the hatch when you release the latch with the button, they're too short.

Here's a thread:

!!For 370Z Owners with the Stuck Hatch Release Issue!!

Two fix options. Get the dealer to put in longer springs or invest $.04 for a quicker fix. I went with the $0.04 fix, works great

See the thread in the link for more info on both options.

its either 4 cents or 6 cents, but either way, still extremely cheap. i think it may only be a temporary fix for now. I'd like to be able to pickup a set of the new springs for free.

You can easily get new springs for free. See my post here:

I emailed the OP of the thread to see if he can add that info to his original post.
