i have seen, MBZ and some other cars that when the trunk is released it opens wide open no need to lift, the spring already pops it up how can i get this done to the GS, i hate lifting it up when i cant, and have heavy boxes in my hand and 2 fingers on the trunk release and all it does is pop up 1 inch. so please help

I wonder if you set the trunk tension if it would pop up


read this and see if it helps

ever consider somehow having a gas shock (like found in the front that holds the hood up) attached somehow that might push it up, on a hinge maybe?

you may try trunk spring which equip for car with rear spoiler from factory and adjust to the max position. It will help alot.

Do you have a spoiler on your car? It's pretty damn heavy. I wonder if any spoilerless GSes have trunks that maybe pop up a bit easier.

GSspeed

no, no spoiler, but i just went and checked and the rod was in the slot allthe way towards teh front of the car, so i moved it towards the back and it now pops up 2 more inches but still needs alot of tension to pop it up allthe way so i need to get the one for the trunk with a spoiler

oh no someone said "pimp" ... now all i can think of is that damn "pimp my ride" show... or maybe monster garage... next thing we'll see is hydros, flamethrowers, fold out vanity mirrors just to make the trunk lid open more than 1 inch

I had the same problem. Tried loading stuff in the trunk that requires 2 hands and the trunk comes crashing down on my head!

Then I found that DIY fix and moved the tension bars, and VOILA!!! It stays up!

Hope you didn't spend the money yet. Try this fix first.
