[gazz292]

I'm still hoping to do the boot popper thing on my merv, but that has a much bigger boot lid and it sits vertically when closed,

i was looking at some variable pressure struts, basically they are just 800 - 1000 newton pressure struts with a valve you can let some of the gas out if they are too strong,
but it's a one way thing, cant put gas back in if you let too much out.

i can see for my boot lid, i'd need a kicker type arrangement, a servo or a solenoid that pushes the boot lid open a foot or so when i pop it, then retracts so it can shut without needing too much pressure to push the boot lid down.

but going to that trouble, i may as well get some electric rams to replace the gas struts with.
