boot pop kit problem

[scopes]

Nope, I tried it twice just to be sure... Hit it with some fresh grease and it popped all the way up, tried it another 2 times after just to make sure...

cool, hopefully with the correct grease we all get the bl**dy thing working,
i am reluctant to put any old grease in there as all i have is copper grease, so as eddie says i have ordered some lithium white grease as that is what was in the old one.
i cant beleive i took the old strut off, seen the grease in it and didnt think the new strut needed any 
hope this solves it lol

Better get some myself. Did you go for the spray or tube type?

no probs, lets see if this works lol
wasnt fun when i finished the install of the pop and they neighbours where chatting to me so they where there to witness the grand first button push lol
it popped like a limp d**k 
so i turned the car around so it was pointing upwards and it flew open lol
post how you get on with the grease buddy and i will do the same when i get it through the post

I didn't put grease on mine either but didn't think that would make much difference.

My bump stops did stop turning in both directions with the allen key. Currently mine are at the lowest setting. I think I will bring them out 1-2 clicks to see if that helps.

hmmm thinking i might have dodgy bumps, do you know if the part number is the same as mine which is posted in the opening comment ?
thanks

My bumps end in C rather than D, not sure if that would make a difference or not...

Hey guys and girls, I just greased both ends and both sides of the dampers and pins; it works everytime now (on the flat), much, much better!

Sounds good. But the real test will be once you have left it closed over night then try it the next day.

True, true... I'll pray to the 'boot pop mod god'.

It's always nice to know little details like that Mandy.

What is the part number for the stops, ?
