    Default One-hand GS trunk opening

    Don't forget to buy a #155 spring, crush one end about 1/2 way and squeeze on the male portion of the trunk latch. Trunk will pop up a little when you open it. Saw this on another thread. Brilliant!

    This reflective decal is a economical, great idea. And a lifesaver at that. Thanks! I'll get some!
