Great Item.

Just so happened I had a brand new spring sittin on the bench w/o a home. Added the .30 cent grommet and it works and looks like it was ment to be there. But if I hadn't had it laying there I would have ordered one.

Good to see a product that is priced reasonably and works well.

I bought one and it helped for about five times. Now I cant get it opened at all. I guess I will have to go to the dealer unless anyone knows how I can get it opened.

Sounds like the trunk latch and not the popper to me.

I've had one since shortly after they went on sale. It works great every time.

I've had mine for a while now and have gotten so used to the trunk lid popping up like it is supposed to that I almost forgot how frustrating the trunk lid was prior to the trunk popper.
It is a great product at a fair price!

Just ordered one myself. It's amazing the things I've found on this forum. I've had the problem with my trunk every since I bought it and never even thought about how to fix it. I just always roll the windows up and shut the door and let the air pressure from the interior push the trunk lid up. Guess that won't be a problem after I recieve the trunk popper. Great idea!

Default Maybe I could live without it!

Maybe I could live without it, however, I choose not to. I got tired of wiping the blood off my trunk lid that was dripping from my bloody fingernails!

Default Trunk Popper

Had mine for about 6-8 months and can't imagine life without it, but I CAN remember the misery endured before it.
