Trunk sticks on auto-open

I have a powered trunk that's coded to do all the fun open/close stuff.

However, about 40% of the time, I'll try to open it, and it will only open about 4-5", instead of all the way (I have no issue with it closing).

I also hear a lot of creaking from the springs/tensioner any time it opens/closes.

Should I be lubricating something, or do I need to replace a spring?

It's really annoying to have it barely open, and then have to force it open the rest of the way.

Anyone on this? Is there a spring that needs to be changed or lubed up or something?
