I just bought my Mystique (used) and I think there's a problem with the trunk. I have a keyless remote and when I press the trunk button the trunk unlocks but doesn't pop open like any other keyless trunk I've ever seen. Instead the mechanism simply unlatches and I have to pull open the trunk. I took the car into the dealer, where it's still under warranty, and they said that the car's mechanism was not built with enough power to pop the trunk open with the added weight of the factory spoiler. It's nothing major (more an annoyance than a problem), but I was wondering if it happens with anyone else's Contour/Mystique.

My '98 (no spoiler) doesn't pop either. I think they are all like that.

I remember reading someone said they removed the plastic piece that hides the trunk latch and adjusted the latch down a tad so there was more pressure holding the lid closed. It would then "pop" when it was released.
