The trunk on our C8 only pops up 1/4 of an inch. No big deal until one is wearing gloves. The late 4th gen Camaros had the trunk release mechanism changed to a different manufacturer and the spring wasn't strong enough to pop the the lid high enough. The fix for that was a helper spring one bought from Home Depot.
I know there are the rubber bumpers that one can adjust, but I'm afraid that might make it harder to close or change the lid alignment.
Before I start messing with things I was wondering what the randoms on the internet thought.
 
My question would be Why are you wearing gloves when you're driving the Corvette?.... Then I remembered there are people who disrespe....errrr.... drive their Vettes in the winter....
 
Update: The rubber bumpers don't do anything for the pop up height, but spraying the mechanism with WD40 did the trick. It now pops up to easily get fingers under it.
