I fitted the boot pop to Banham's Gti
worked first time no problem, even without grease

I take it the scirocco bumpers have been released, so they spring back out when pushed in?
any ideas eddie if a different set of the rubber bumpers are available out there, im thinking something with more compression than the normal boot pop ones we have fitted, im not sure if the actual fitting to the car size is generic or differs from car to car.
i just cant get the thing to pop enough unless i am facing downhill, even slightly downhill wont work  :ashamed:

Scott, are you using the scirocco poppers?
is that what they are called lol, excuse my ignorance, either way they are faulty or just aint enough with the combined weight of the spoiler and the rvc, not sure if i should maybe order another set of them or try to find a diff stronger one that may fit ?
