Regarding the trunk lid, you might check out part # 5140949-AA, Rod Assembly 23018026. It is the "Child Safety Trunk Release Cable/Lever Assembly". It is a VERY flimsy part that broke twice on my Crossfire. It releases the trunk after you squeeze the handle. Chrysler upgraded the part, according to my Service Tech, after so many broke; it is stronger now. You open the inside of the trunk lid to get to it.
