OldDad67 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 My trunk lid is molded off, I kind of like it but it's hard to open. Has anyone used an electric trunk popper with success? I don't even care if it's electric I just need it to pop up where I can get my fingers in to fully lift it up. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackster Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I have been pondering this same question! I was thinking maybe a spring thingy that can pop it out or something similar. I had use something similar at work. and it kinda seemed like a good Idea. It was a hydraulic cushion plunger. and if adjust at a higher pressure...It will lift up to a few inches. Im on the hunt for something that might work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to check out some of the hotrod folk for ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackster Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I think when people install door popper there is a little spring loadedunger with a pin in the middle that pushes the door open. I will look into it more ASAP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Horne Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 I saved the springs from a riding mower seat for a popper.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mulders Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 This seems something that could work ? http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/77 John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackster Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I ordered one of those c5 trunk poppers. it looks like a simple and efective way to do it and it was only 20 dollars so why not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
