Toyota Camry: trunk release 99 Camry

The cable goes back to the mechanism in the trunk lid latch and terminates
in a little metal ball. My cable streched to the point where pulling the
release didn't work any longer. I removed the trunk lid liner, then the two
bolts holding the release and latch mechanism, then clipped a lead fishing
weight the the cable just above the old ball. This took up the slack and now
it works fine.

My thanks for the info--fumble fingers here managed to actually fixed it in
under an hour in 40 degree weather. there was a point there where I was
ready to drive to the dealership but I do figure through sheer stubborness I
saved myself at least $50.
