No thats the way mine is (and probably everyone else's on here). Iv only had the car a month or so, but it looks like when you release, all it does is engage the motor to lift up the hatch a little bit. But, if the shocks arnt strong enough (and also add on that the tarp is connected and have the bigass z28 spoiler on top), then the motor thinks you are pushing back down on it wanting to close it.
All I can do right now is sit in the back seat, hit the release, and push up on the glass, haha

I don't have it, I didn't think so. Maybe it came w/ power windows?

go spend like the 30 bucks a piece and get some new shocks.....the ladies get far less impressed when they see you jumping into the back and pushing up on the glass to open your trunk
