Default Hatch Lid Pop Assist **ON SALE $14.99** Must Have Accessory!

Does your hatch lid open enough to get your fingers in when you press the release button? Have you resorted to slamming the doors or jarring the hatch with an object to get it open?

You're not alone! Most Corvette owners experience this very common annoyance. We have a simple solution to the problem however. No need to go buy new hatch struts at $100 + a set. Our newest product requires no drilling, cutting or modifying the current hatch. Your Vette remains stock at the install site! Install takes less than 5 minutes

The kit consists of a high compression spring and cap to protect the carpet. The spring is the exact size needed to pop the hatch high enough to get your fingers in there. The kit works with all Corvette model variations.



ON SALE $14.99!

Good item! I've got a FRC w/carpet on backside of trunk lid which made it heavy & this thing really works well!

I tried all the suggestions found on this forum ( lube all the hinge points, adjust the factory spring, replace the struts etc) and none lasted more than a few weeks. The spring in the above adv. has worked great the past 3+ years since I installed it. Trunk on my vert pops every time............ May not be pretty but it works.

Product works great. I ended up putting a washer in place with the retaining bolt to more securely hold the spring in place. Following the directions included to tuck it under the retaining bolt without some structure ended up with the spring slipping out of place. Now it works great.

Someone took the time to figure out what length and pressure of spring to use and I don't mind paying for their efforts. You COULD ship this thing in a padded mailer for about two bucks.
