The boot 'pop' is just gained by changing the gas struts ect so when you use the boot unlock button they force the boot open, then you close it manually.

Darren was talking about the auto open and close you can get on audis mercs ect which I presume is a motor which opens and closes the boot.

Right I see. Yeah the cheap way for me is fine!  :happy2:

Why do you have to change the bumpers to Scirocco ones? If its only the struts that make the boot open?

The sirocco bumpers are Sprung... whereas the OEM golf ones are solid! I believe that the sprung one assist the 'pop'!

From my understanding the poppers are open full so when you should the boot they are trying to push the boot open, so when you press the button then start it of by springing the boot open and then the struts do the rest?

Hope this helps you understand!

Anyone know the exact model these struts are off? And are they of the hatch struts or bonnet?

Appreciated

Safety wise < With the force, has ANYONE has a boot lid forced open? are the struts putting serious pressure under the boot lid? could this happen?

Also - is the boot lid, seriously hard to shut? is it now a two handed job if realistically?
