Trunk Popper

[Bonnell]

I wanted to say again how cool the trunk popper is. I have had the same problem with my trunk as many of you-it doesn't want to pop open far enough to get a finger under it.

I ordered the trunk popper (about $17 including shipping) and installed it in under a minute. Problem solved! This simple spring works great and looks like a factory part.

BTW: I tried the other remidies first like lubricating the lift rods, etc.

This is the easiest 'mod' I've ever done.

I second that !! The popper installed as promised and works extremely well. The only thing that was easier was a certain persons cup holder. No tools required for that.

What's a trunk popper and where do you get it?

I'm not sure if I am allowed to put a link here. Search Google for C5TrunkPopper.

It is a spring that is made to install on your trunk lid and it makes the trunk lid pop uop as it is supposed to.

You will love this cupholder. His site will explain all.

I thought I'd point out ... We have a section further down in the forums that is titled "PRODUCT REVIEWS" It sounds to me like the "Trunk Popper" should be added

There is a section for member additions and reviews..
It's always nice to hear something is worth getting and works as advertised

How do you add a review? I see now means to do it. This would go into the Body & Trim? You are right in that this would be useful. My final decision to replace my Gs-D3s with the same came after reading Hib's review here.

Bonnell,
When you go to the Product Reviews section of CAC, it does work a bit differently than the forums. You have to click on "Upload Products" in the highlighted banner right under the Ad. This will take you to a screen that rather redundantly says "Product Reviews Product Review" and will have a pull down menu where you select the category. In this case, I would agree with you that Body Parts and Trim would be the most appropriate place to put your review.

Click Submit, and it will take you to a screen where you can write your product review and post pictures.

Thanks Patrick. I have added the product along with my review.

I guess I'm lucky, mine still pops up all by itself. That's a pretty cool idea though.

Once in a while mine pops up high enough to reach under, once it came up about half way. I thought it was a Florida car reacting to colder temperatures - the gas in the struts having compressed or something. I was going to replace the struts in the Spring. Would that help? Would the extra pressure of the popper when the lid is closed have an effect on the structure over time?
