And since it is awake, LOL....

I just lubed my hinges, cleaned and lubed the gasket with silicon spray, and waxed the underside. No difference....

I had the popper , but recently took it off.. It certainly pops, but quite agressive.. After some time, Mine wouldn't shut! So must have done something to the mechanism over the weeks it was on.
Took it off and worked fine, until yesterday .. It won't shut now.. Any ideas?

Oil works for a while but the struts are getting leaky, the oil helps with sealing for a while but new struts will fix it and the lid will pop up pretty high and when fully open will stay open.
