Boot hard to open using latch

I find it difficult to open the boot using the rubber coated latch. It takes quit a bit of pressure to squeeze it to get it to pop open, especially when it's real cold out. I have had several other types of cars that open with just a little touch. Anyone know of a mod or some way to make it easier to use? It does open and close nice I just think it requires to much pressure.

Mine is the same way, especially in the cold. I find it's easier to open without gloves on than with gloves on. I can never get it open with gloves on.

Exactly and its tough when it's in the single digits without gloves on, even for only 5 sec.
