Wow, that is the easiest 'mod' I've ever done and it works great. The trunk popper is great.

If you follow the link that I posted you will see the actual photo of the popper installed. It is a simple device that takes less than 2 minutes to install (really less than one minute) and makes the trunk open as it should.

I love the simplicity.

Slick little device. And surprisingly doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

I don't see the need for this. Maybe my trunk opens farther than most.
