mine gets stuck 90% of the time and I have a base 09 (no wing). I have to press mine 2-3 sometimes 4 times in order to open my trunk.

Finally found a way to fix mine cheaply and now it pops open every single time even with all the dynamat I placed in the top of the hatch. I glued 1/4" thick rubber washers to where the springs meet on either side of the hatch.

^ i used to do something similar. I used those thick clear plastic tabs for cabinet doors and chair/table legs. But they always slowly wiggle out of alignment. What glue did you use?

My NISMO is only 3 months old and already I've been to the dealership twice for the hatch issue. They replaced the springs...still didn't work. I put a nickel in each rubber boot. Still didn't work. I removed the weight in the hatch (under plastic panel). Still not better. Took back to dealer today and the service guy told me that there is nothing more they can do. It is a design flaw that Nissan never fixed. He says most of the new Z's on the lot are the same way. I'm somewhat pissed. I frequently use my hatch and have to use both hands to open it, which means I have to set things on the ground first. I think I might try the rubber washer and glue trick.

I don't know exactly why, but turning the springs about .25-.5 turns until it felt tighter seems to have cured my problem. Opens every time with 1 pop for the last 2 months

IIRC, the boot is free to turn in the plastic piece that screws into the hatch, so any mark on it would probably not be for alignment.

Mine are warranty replacements from dealership. Maybe they mark them differently. Thanks for checking! I'll play around and see if readjusting them makes any difference.
