Spring loading the boot lid...

[Rajesh Koothrappali]

Just wondering if anyone has done it so at the press of the remote button the boot lid actually lifts open. Would be good to have when you have your hands full.

(posted in VE and VF sections as I have one of each)

My VF fully opens with the remote.

Mine doesn't! **** is this something they got right on the VF and I get one that doesn't work. Dropping in to the dealer tomorrow for warranty job if this is the case.

heavier boot struts would help. Maybe the SS has heavier struts to the Senator? Spoiler would be heavier on the SS I imagine.

both mine are very similar. Senator goes up a tad more but neither go all the way up.

I am guessing you have the big spoiler...mine does and the boot only opens about 1/3.

I only have the boot lip spoiler.
Just the last few days I've been returning to the car to find the boot fully open.This is pissing me off.

This is caused by accidentally pressing the boot button on the remote when it's in your pocket ect
There is a BCM rework that can be carried out at your local dealer so that you have to hold the button down min. 1 sec for it to open the boot (same with drivers door boot button). Currently a feather could even open it as you have found out.

Same here, the raised spoiler is heavier and it only open part way. You could fix it with some heavier duty struts (easy to swap) but it would make it harder to close...

My VF boot opens no hands.
