Default Sticky boot lock!

My boot lock does open with the keys nor the lever has anyone else found this when they have changed the spoiler on the boot?

Thanks

I've got a p1 spoiler on my classic.. and atleast once a week the boot doesn't open. I've had the rear seats out.. tried to get some slack in the cable, but after putting it all back together.. no change.. so i just try to park the car on a flat road and avoid bumps in the road when im coming to the end of my journey.. or just keep a 10/12ml in the glovebox!

dont understand why it would affect it. Recently changed my original low rise spoiler for an sti v5/6 highlevel and I didnt need to go anywhere near the locking/release mechanism with mine.
The only issue is because the spoiler is a lot heavier than standard, and I have a lightweight boot it opens but doesnt lift by a few inches, however if I then lift it, it is fine

Thanks, it must just be the extra weight of the spoiler.
