Power trunk in a vert

I am looking at doing this, and was wondering if anyone has seen/done this before?

I don't know about you, but its a pita to get in my trunk sometimes. Either it dosen't pop up high enough or you got to dig your fingers in a little crack to lift it up. And then theres the smudges you leave on the trunk.

yeah my trunk lid opens enough for me to wedge my fingers under the lid about 20% of the time the other 80% is a PIA
